Bronx Cultural Visions Fund

Up to $10k for Concept Development or $20k for Production

The Bronx Cultural Visions Fund (BCVF) seeks to support the development of new ideas and the production of new work in the performing arts, including but not limited to dance, music, theater, performance art, and multi-disciplinary performance work. Open to Bronx-based emerging and mid-career individual artists and organizations with budgets up to $250,000, BCVF awards are intended to have a meaningful impact on an artist’s career or an organization’s development.

The BCVF represents a significant investment in The Bronx’s performing arts scene, and the Bronx Council of the Arts (BCA) will be developing long-term relationships with each grantee. We will remain actively engaged with applicants and grantees throughout the process, from the letter of intent through the realization of funded projects.

Application Instructions

BCVF APPLICATION PROCESS
The BCVF application process consists of two stages: submitting a Letter of Intent (LOI), and then if invited, submitting a full proposal. You can submit your LOI in written or video format. You will submit your application through Submittable at https://bronxcouncilonthearts.submittable.com/submit/331761/2026-bronx-cultural-visions-fund-bcvf-letter-of-intent-loi-application

If invited to submit a full proposal, the second step of the review process is for each proposal to be read by a specially convened BCVF panel of 3-5 performing arts professionals who live in NYC. They will determine the strongest proposals and choose at least 5 awards in each category (Concept Development and Production).
