CROWN HEIGHTS — THE BROOKLYN CHILDREN’S MUSEUM on Friday announced a $49,500 grant from the New York State Council on the Arts. The grant will help fund BCM’s many community offerings, including its hands-on exhibits, festivals, school trips and programs that invite children to imagine, create and learn through play. BCM’s latest offering, Empire Skate of Mind, revives the spirit of the borough’s roller disco past — with a rooftop roller rink! — open until April 12, 2026.
BCM’s diverse cultural festivals celebrate an array of traditions, art and food. Up next is BCM’s Celebrate Kwanzaa, from Dec. 26 through Dec. 30. Other annual celebrations have recognized Eid al-Fitr, Holi, Lunar New Year, Día de los Muertos , Tu BiShvat and Black History Month.
“We are tremendously thankful to the New York State Council on the Arts for its generous and continued support,” Atiba T. Edwards, president and CEO of Brooklyn Children’s Museum, said in a release.
