This category of SCR grants funds arts-education projects that take place in K-12 schools during the school day, after school, and/or at community-based learning centers for youth and/or adult learners.
Arts Education grants serve to bring teaching artists and their classroom skills into dedicated learning environments and support all genres of the arts, including, but not limited to, dance, film, folk arts, literary arts, music, theater, video, visual arts, and multidisciplinary arts.
Focusing on the exploration of art and the artistic/creative process with an emphasis placed on the depth and quality of that process, projects must provide:
- Skills-based study that incorporates one or more art forms and includes a minimum of three sequential learning sessions
- In-depth, age-appropriate learning opportunities
- Hands-on, participatory creation that may culminate in an exhibit, demonstration, reading, production, or other kind of public presentation
- Stated learning goals, methodologies, and outcomes and a means for evaluation
What SCR Arts Education Awards Can Fund
- Teaching artists’ fees
- Supplies and materials needed for the execution of the program
- Administrative expenses directly related to the proposed program
Eligibility Criteria
- The legal address of applicant organizations must be within Clinton, Essex, Franklin, or Hamilton County, and the funded project must take place within the same county as the applicant’s legal address.
- An applicant organization must be a governmental or quasi-governmental entity, a tribal organization, or a designated New York State nonprofit incorporated or registered to do business in the state. Please note that the address on the documentation provided must be within the county where the project is taking place.
- Any one of the first four documents listed below may serve as proof of nonprofit status for such organizations and must be submitted as part of the grant application.
- The fifth document listed pertains to governmental/quasi-governmental entities and is required to be submitted as part of those entities’ applications:
- A Letter of Determination from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicating tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code
- Documentation of being chartered by the NYS Board of Regents under section 216 of the NYS Education Law

- Organizations, collectives, or individual artists who do not meet these requirements can apply for SCR funds through a fiscal sponsor. The entity serving as the fiscal sponsor becomes the “applicant organization” and must meet the same eligibility requirements listed in this section for a direct nonprofit-organization applicant and provide the same required documents.
- An individual artist or group of artists who apply, including those who use a fiscal sponsor, must each be 18 years of age at the time of application.
- In no way may applicant organizations discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religious belief, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
