Are you a performer, visual artist, arts critic, arts historian, musician, curator, other artist or arts professional, or arts engaged community leader?
The Bronx Council on the Arts (BCA) seeks artists, arts professionals, and nonprofit/community leaders to serve as panelists for our 2026, and future grant cycles.
BCA offers several regranting programs, distributing nearly one million dollars of grant funds every year to Bronx artists, collectives, and nonprofit organizations. BCA panelists review and score applications, provide invaluable panelist comments, and recommend recipients for funding. They play a key role in the grants process, and their knowledge and expertise are crucial in shaping the way public arts funds are distributed.
If this is you and you would like to help make a difference in the Bronx, please apply to serve on one of our grants panels.
Potential panelists from all boroughs are welcome to apply, as BCA’s different grant programs require panelists from in and outside of the Bronx. BCA supports panel diversity in all forms: age, race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, artistic discipline, location, etc.
Selected panelists will be contacted when needed. All panelists receive an honorarium in appreciation for their service.
