Shaping Brooklyn’s Future

Road to the DEP

How Do Artists Shape Brooklyn?

From Danny DeVito to Spike Lee to Laurie Cumbo, Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) has long been at the forefront of supporting Brooklyn’s diverse creative talent. Now, they’re taking that support to the next level.

In partnership with NOIR Labs, BAC is driving forward their vision of a digitally connected Brooklyn in which Artists, Citizens* and Corporations work together to deliver solutions to our most pressing challenges as a borough. Do you see yourself as part of this future?

Whether you’re a creative, a citizen who’s passionate about building a better Brooklyn, an organization that wants to make a tremendous difference, or all three, we want to hear from you!

 

*Citizen in this context refers not to immigration status, but to one who is deeply committed to contributing to the development of their locale at the highest levels.

How Should Artists Shape Brooklyn?

Creating the best version of Brooklyn depends on us coming together as a diverse array of Brooklynites who deeply desire to see equitable futures in every realm of our borough’s reality.

With your support, we’ll build a Digital Portal to connect Brooklyn artists to resources, opportunities and to each other. This Portal will also advance humanist social innovation in Brooklyn by enabling more creative talent to address civic and corporate challenges in service of a better Brooklyn for all. Keep scrolling for three ways you can get involved now!
