The mission of the Bronx Cultural Vision Fund (BCVF) is to support the live performing arts scene in the Bronx by funding the development of new concepts and the production of new work, emphasizing projects by Bronx-based individual artists, collectives, and nonprofit arts organizations in theater, music, dance, or multidisciplinary forms. BCVF aims to make significant investments in the borough’s performing arts community, developing long-term relationships with grantees.
The Bronx Dance Fund is focused on providing grants up to $7,500 for Bronx-based dancers, choreographers, and dance organizations. These grants can be used for a variety of purposes including general operating expenses, project-specific support, capacity building, training, professional development, and production. There is a particular emphasis on supporting talented early-career dance artists and BIPOC-led organizations, aiming to nurture the diversity and vibrancy of the Bronx's dance scene.
