Brattleboro Museum & Art Center and the Elliot Street Cafe Team Up to Support Artists
The Brattleboro Museum & Art Center and the Elliot Street Café are teaming up to enable residents of Brattleboro and the surrounding area to take arts philanthropy into their own hands.
With a new collaborative program called “BEAN Micro-Grant Dinners” the partners aim to enhance the vitality of art in the community by providing artists with much needed financial support and encouraging dialogue and collaborative decision-making between artists and the general public.
Based on similar programs happening around the world, BEAN, which stands for “Brattleboro Essential Arts Network,” also aims to change the face of arts funding—from a top down model with limited interaction between funders and recipients to one that features direct, personal contact between donors and their beneficiaries, allowing virtually anyone to become a philanthropist.
