The Space Grant Program is designed to give Brooklyn based choreographers, playwrights, and multi-disciplinary artists the opportunity to create new work in a setting that is conducive to working deeply and exploring new territory. Awards are 70 hours of free space in one of BAX's four spaces. Hours are to be used in one of two grant periods. One grant period is a work period only and the other includes a showcase performance. Applicants may decide which grant period is most appropriate for their needs before applying. Applications are generally available in early spring and are awarded for the summer or for the fall. Awards are selected through a panel process. We actively seek artists who can demonstrate need for our space and the ability to work effectively. Artists who have received previous space grants must wait three years before reapplying. Applicants must be Brooklyn Residents.
