"2011 DCA GRANT", Awarded by NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, NY. Jan 2011 - Dec 2011.
Daryl-Ann Saunders has been selected as a 2011 grant recipient for the Pioneers of Bushwick project. The Bushwick area of Brooklyn experienced an unprecedented rise in arson, drugs, gangs and criminal-related activity starting in the 1970's and continuing through the 90's. Now, Bushwick is experiencing a resurgence - artists, young professionals and families are flocking to the area to benefit from its close proximity to Manhattan, larger spaces and lower rental costs of live and work spaces.
Daryl-Ann's photographic portraits of Bushwick seniors will be paired with some of their stories to honor and serve as testament of those that lived in Bushwick during those tumultuous times. These will be presented in a community exhibition and a catalog for historical archive. Seniors' families, local community, general public and classes of students will be invited.
Each year, the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC) Community Arts Regrant Program selects to fund, through selection of project proposals by a jury panel, Brooklyn-based nonprofit organizations and artists in the areas of visual arts, film and video, photography, craft, folk arts, dance, music, opera, theater, literature/writing, and multidisciplinary arts. All regrants are available solely to individuals and organizations with Brooklyn Kings County) residency to support projects taking place in Brooklyn.
