Details:
The Individual Artist Grant represents a “live & work” investment in local artists. It is designed to increase support for local artist-initiated activity, and to highlight the role of artists as important members of the community. These grants are intended to support creative artists (not interpretive), interested in working within a community setting. Community engagement is an essential element of this grant opportunity. The project must engage a segment of the community through a public program, such as a public exhibition or performance, and/or the inclusion of community involvement in the project’s development and creative process.
Funds are provided through the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), to offer commission support for new work that engages the community. Made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and administered by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council.
