Art Creating Community Grants

Stanley Center for the Arts Gives Back to the Community in a BIG Way

The Stanley Center for the Arts is pleased to announce that it will once again be awarding funds through the Art Creating Community Decentralization Regrant Program in Herkimer, Madison and Oneida counties. Funds awarded through this program will benefit community residents of all ages, and is just one of many ways the Stanley gives back to the community.

The Art Creating Community Decentralization Regrant Program is made possible with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). Through the help of NYSCA the Stanley has been funding art and cultural programs in our tri-county area since 1977. Over the years the Stanley has distributed over $1 million dollars to area nonprofit organizations and artists sponsored by nonprofit organizations who have brought hundreds of art and cultural programs to our community.

The Decentralization Regrant Program provides partial funding, up to $5,000, for community-based professional and vocational art and cultural programs in all art disciplines throughout Herkimer, Madison and Oneida counties. This program is a competitive process and no one is guaranteed funding whether they have received it in previous years or not. For more information on how you can apply for funds please contact Megan Koenig, Community Arts Manager at 315-724-1113 or mkoenig@stanleycenterforthearts.com.

The 2010 application deadline is Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 4pm.
