Pre-Application Information

Deadline: Monday, January 9, 2023 at 11:59 PM

Decisions will be e-mailed to all applicants in approximately May of the grant year. Winners will then be invited to a ceremony that following June, at which they will be honored and receive the award. BRIO winners are subsequently required to complete a one-time community service activity known as Artists for Community Enrichment (ACE) within a year.

Eligible applicants can submit only one application in one discipline.

In order to submit an application, you must create an account online at Submittable, see below.

Applicants CAN apply to BRIO and Arts Fund, but must choose only ONE Grant if awarded both. An artist may not accept money from BRIO and Arts Fund because both grants are funded through the same source. Eligible applicants CAN receive money from BRIO, New Work, and Community Arts in the same year.
