Purpose
New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) provides state funding to arts and cultural organizations. The Statewide Community Regrants program (SCR) was established in 1977 to reach out to communities that might not otherwise be able to access state funds. Local arts agencies, like LARAC, administer the SCR program on a local level to make arts support available to geographically, economically, and ethnically diverse populations to increase the vitality of and livability in local communities & neighborhoods in every county.
Individual Artist Grants will be offered in the amount of $2,500 per commission.
- The work must be artist initiated and reflect the social, ethnic, or geographic environment of Warren or Washington County’s community life or culture and/or engage local communities in the work of the artist. These projects are viewed as ways for artists to lead and direct the creative process in their communities and to showcase the artist as a community resource.
- Applications in all artistic disciplines (visual arts, film, theater, dance, music, media, literature, folk art, and video etc.) are accepted and will compete within the same funding pool.
