Amid Budget Cuts and Shifting Priorities, Brooklyn's Arts Scene Faces Strain ... But is Fighting Back
Briefly

The Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) has been a critical player in supporting the arts in Brooklyn for over 57 years. As local arts organizations face significant financial challenges, including reductions in city and federal support, BAC is transitioning from a traditional operational model to a more sustainable approach. The Council is becoming a leading advocate for the arts, highlighting the necessity of funding and support that interweaves the arts with community efficiency and resilience.
We are a sixty-year-old organization, and our operating model must change significantly... That approach is no longer sustainable. The arts aren't a competing priority; they are interwoven into the very efficiency of our city.
Funding gaps have made it harder than ever to secure essentials like studio space and production support.
