Neuberger Museum Receives Grant from ArtsWestchester

ArtsWestchester and leaders from Westchester County government recently presented Challenge Grants to cultural organizations throughout the county.

ArtsWestchester was joined by representatives from County Executive Robert P. Astorino’s administration, members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators and arts and cultural organizations for the check presentations on Dec. 17 at ArtsWestchester’s White Plains headquarters.

The partnership has distributed over $160,000 in grants to 38 cultural organizations. Among those receiving awards were Hudson Stage Company, Jazz Forum Arts, Neuberger Museum, Tarrytown Music Hall, The Picture House, Youth Theater Interaction and Westchester Philharmonic.

This matching grant program provides project support for arts organizations and enables them to leverage these dollars against private contributions raised between October 1, 2014 and December 19, 2014. Only new funds were eligible for the match. The maximum award given out to an organization was $5,000.
