About BRIO...

BRIO (Bronx Recognizes Its Own) continues to provide support for artistic development of individuals creating works of literary, media, performing, and visual arts in the Bronx.  A minimum of 25 BRIO grants of $3,000 each are awarded to individual artists residing in the Bronx.

BRIO award winners must complete a one-time public service activity (ACE) to receive their complete award.  The selection for awards is based solely on artistic excellence and is decided on by a panel of professional artists representing the various disciplines.  Only artists living in the Bronx are eligible to apply for BRIO.
