Bronx Recognizes Its Own Award

The Bronx Recognizes Its Own Award honors Bronx artists in a number of categories. It is given yearly by the Bronx Council on the Arts. Winners must be residents of the Bronx and are expected to do community service for a local arts organization as part of the award.[1][2] Vivien Raynor of The New York Times said "IF the Bronx ever becomes a Barbizon, its Council on the Arts should get some credit, because of the Bronx Recognizes Its Own grants that it dispenses..."[3]

The BRIO award began in 1989[4] and was twenty years old in 2009.[5] Both the size of the grant and the number of prize winners has varied over the years. In 1989 twelve recipients were selected.[6] In 1991 there were sixteen awards.[7] In 1992 there were ten.[8]
