Arts Alive Grant Deadline for Artists and Emerging Arts Groups: Oct 4

ArtsWestchester works hard to ensure access to the arts for all Westchester residents, especially in areas that are underserved. Arts Alive grants are the most effective means for making this mission a reality. The organization is now accepting applications from nonprofit arts organizations, and individual and teaching artists, for the 2018 grants program. Supported programs incorporate the community and help to bring vibrant arts and cultural activities to a wide audience. Past grants have helped to fund murals, theatrical performances, cultural heritage festivals and more. The deadline for applications is October 4.

Funds are available in three categories:

-- Arts Alive Project Grants provide financial support for a range of projects that demonstrate a strong community benefit.
-- Arts Alive Artist Grants provide direct support to artists for the creation of new work related to the community.
-- Arts Alive Arts Education Grants provide support for partnerships between individual artists or organizations and Westchester public schools (K-12), after-school programming or lifelong learning programs.

Arts Alive Project Grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program (DEC) – a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature – and administered by ArtsWestchester.
