(Oct. 2011) Artists and not-for-profit organizations are invited to apply for grants now available through The Cultural Resources Council. The agency has expanded its support for arts programs throughout Central New York, in partnership with the Decentralization Program of the New York State Council for the Arts.
The CRC is accepting applications for exemplary arts activities that will take place in Cortland, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga or Oswego counties during 2012. Support is available for community-based programs in the performing, visual, literary and media arts through two funding categories – Community Arts Grants (application deadline Nov. 1) and Individual Artist Grants (application deadline Oct. 20).
“Supporting a vibrant arts scene is important to all sectors of Central New York”, said Stephen Butler, CRC executive director. “The arts contribute to the economic health of our communities, help attract new residents and businesses, and support success in education for our youth.”
For complete details and application procedures, visit mycnyarts.org, or call the Cultural Resources Council at 315.435.2158. Also available on the website is a schedule of public information meetings and details on additional grant programs for schools and for artist career opportunities.
