Brookfield Arts Commission is excited to announce the opening of this year’s Art Scholarship Application for Brookfield Connecticut Residents. The scholarship is open to any Brookfield Connecticut resident that is pursuing a career in an arts related field. Are you intending to study the arts in order to pursue a career in the fine or performing arts? If you are, then you should apply for this scholarship. Past awardees have included future filmmakers, designers, dancers, musicians, fine artists and creative writers!

Applications are reviewed by members of the Brookfield Arts Commission and selected professional artists in the community. Your application should include a 250 word essay describing your artistic goals, a two page maximum resume or vitae that highlights your artistic studies, participation or experiences, and two letters of recommendation, one of which should be someone familiar with your art. We encourage applicants to submit their portfolios along with their application, this can be in the form of a digital presentation or video, depending on your specific art.

The scholarship is not based on academics or financial need. It requires you to have demonstrated a commitment to art through your studies, practice, and community art involvement, and that you live in Brookfield, are graduating high school and plan to attend higher education to pursue a career in the arts.

The BAC 2024 Scholarship Application can be downloaded from our website or may be available at your high school guidance department. The scholarship is open to any resident of Brookfield who is graduating high school in any setting this year.

Applications are due by May 6, 2024. Applications can be dropped off at Town Hall in the First Selectman’s Office, emailed to brookfieldartcommissionct@gmail.com.
