ArtsWestchester offers new grant program

ArtsWestchester is pleased to announce the Arts Alive Recovery NY Regrant, a new, onetime opportunity to assist artists and arts groups with re-engaging
their audiences through live performances and in-person arts programming. Funding is available for Westchester and Rockland counties organizations and
artists planning live public events including performances, exhibitions, festivals, showings, etc.

Performing arts are a priority, but other events with a public component are eligible for consideration. New, first-time applicants are encouraged to apply. Grants of $1,000-$3,000 are available to support in-person programs happening between Sept. 1, 2021-June 30, 2022.

Application Deadline: Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 11:59 p.m. Submit by or before Sept. 20 to receive staff feedback on your proposal. Eligibility and requirements
Organizations must be a nonprofit (or be partnering with a nonprofit) based in Westchester or Rockland counties.

Individual artists must live or own/rent studio space in Westchester or Rockland counties. Projects must have a live, public component. At least 60% of the award must be applied to compensation for artist fees/creative professionals. If you applied to NYSCA in 2021 for their FY22 grant opportunities, you are not eligible to apply.

Please note that Arts Alive Recovery NY regrants are in addition to the existing Arts Alive grant program. The 2022 Arts Alive cycle will go live in fall 2021, please stay tuned for updates and guidelines on that opportunity. Questions? Please contact grants@artswestchester.org For more, information visit
