Road to the Brooklyn Innovation Portal

Brooklyn Arts Council is in imagination mode. We are imagining a digital solution that makes a place for all of us to participate in creating the future we want for ourselves and for Brooklyn.

We are imagining the Brooklyn Innovation Portal (BIP).

 

What is the BIP?

The BIP will be an interactive solution for connecting, monetizing, and community-based impact investing. It will center the relationship between artists and communities to generate commerce and collaboration. It will give us all a chance to leverage art assets, art networks, creative content, and creative services for joy, equity, innovation, and abundance.

How will it do that?

Well, so far, we're imagining functions like:

  • Mapping and visualizing resources and opportunities for artists

  • Artist and art service registries for artists and patrons

  • Media libraries with content for creative wellness, professional development, and art engagement

  • Giving platforms for Brooklynites to make investments in artists, organizations and neighborhoods

How can you participate and help shape it?

BAC is currently developing Phase I of the BIP. In Phase I, we are building a mobile-responsive web portal that will serve as the go-to resource for participants in Brooklyn’s creative economy — a dynamic, searchable, interactive, mapped digital database of resources across Brooklyn’s creative industries.
