BX PARKS SPEAK UP

Hello Friends of Bronx Parks -

Citizen Stewardship: Bronx Parks Groups & Artists Collaboration
The Bronx Coalition for Parks and Green Spaces (BCPGS) wants to pair your park group with a local artist to help create a visual representation of your citizen stewardship efforts through an exciting community based collaboration!

For the first time BCPGS will grant 3 Bronx park groups funds to work with artists from the BX Arts Factory. With guidance from the group, the artist will design a graphic or logo that can be printed on a banner, buttons or used on flyers, fundraisers and social media, etc. depicting the group’s mission at their local park or space.   The group will receive a digital copy of the graphic and depending on costs may also receive buttons or a  banner or flyers, etc.

Each group will receive $350 and the funds will go directly to the BX Arts Factory.  We will announce the grant recipients virtually at the Bronx Parks Speak Up on February 26, 2022.  We anticipate matching groups with an artist in March,  with the  goal of having designs ready for use by summer.

If you have any questions, reach out to bxspeakup@gmail.com with Citizen Stewardship in the subject.  

Eligibility:
Bronx Park/Open Space groups that have been volunteering at their local NYC Parks, garden, and/or open spaces for more than two years may apply. The local park/open space group has a budget below $15K and has a track record of supporting community groups with civic engagement projects/programs. You do not need a 501c3 to apply.  Application deadline is February 16, 2022 at 5pm.

"See" you soon!
