Details:
These grants support Staten Island artists creating new work in a community setting that connects places and people using arts and culture on Staten Island’s North Shore. An essential element of this funding is community engagement. The project must engage a segment of the community through a public program and/or include community involvement in the development and creative process of the project.
This grant program seeks qualified applicants for creative placemaking projects that give a prominent role to local artists and/or communities, enhance livability in the community, and test recommendations established by Future Culture: Connecting Staten Island’s Waterfront, a joint project by Design Trust for Public Space and Staten Island Arts. All art and artistic cultural disciplines – music, dance, digital/new media, film/video/animation, folk arts, interdisciplinary events/festivals, public art, theatre, performing and visual arts – will be considered.
The project aims to shape and communicate a vision for culture along Staten Island’s rapidly developing North Shore waterfront that:
- Supports and promotes unique cultural communities
- Develops art and cultural activities that connect places and people
- Strengthens the relationship between the cultural sector and owners and stewards of property
