Details:
IAC represents a “live and work” investment in local artists and is designed to provide project-specific support for local artist-initiated activity and to highlight the role of artists as important members of the community.
The purpose of SCR is to create access and support of the arts to the geographically, economically, and ethnically diverse segments of the state’s population. It is designed to create vibrant arts communities in all 62 counties by partnering with local and regional arts councils such as CNY Arts, to provide a link between NYSCA and the artists and arts agencies who are otherwise unable to access state arts funding
Goals

By providing project-specific funds, they aim to contribute to the cultural development of their region and to provide opportunities for the Central New York and Mohawk Valley communities to experience and engage with the arts.
