Brooklyn Arts Council is in imagination mode. We are imagining the Dynamic Engagement Portal (DEP). The DEP 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 can you help shape it?
1. Taking a DEP Needs Assessment Survey
2. Nominating yourself or a friend for a DEP Focus Group that will take place on March 16 or March 30
3. Submitting a design as part of our UX/UI Design Competition for a chance at cash prizes up to $1,000 and a role on our development team
Join Us on the Road
