"The call is open to artists who work for a business at the Brooklyn Navy Yard - including current full- or part-time employees and business owners - or who live in Brooklyn. "We have so many amazing creatives on our campus. Creativity defines Brooklyn, so it's really this great opportunity. We're hoping to get proposals from both those who work at the Navy Yard, but also Brooklyn-based creatives, and really start to more intentionally message that it's not just the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It's really our Brooklyn Navy Yard," Beseau said."
"The request for proposals (RFP) is open until Nov. 2. Inspired by the theme "Brooklyn Forged," artists are encouraged to blend historic and contemporary narratives that reflect the Yard's industrial legacy and Brooklyn's ongoing ingenuity, while celebrating the skills, materials and entrepreneurial spirit that have shaped the borough's identity through industrial innovation. BNY will celebrate its 225th anniversary in 2026, and the theme "Brooklyn Forged" pays homage to the borough's ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit."
