​Every Little Bit Counts with Numbers​

For some time now we have been trying to increase the funding available for small emerging arts groups not just in Westchester, but throughout the state. This year, we did it. In June 2017, our grant funding increased from $55,440 to $63,000 for 2018. It's not a huge deal--only $8,000-- but at least we are moving in the right direction--up. Looking both backwards and in context, we happily got a slight bump up in 2016 which brought us from $46,200 to $55,440. Help with proposals is available. Artists and organizations are eligible.

Finally, it should be known that these funds are fought for by our Westchester State Legislative Delegation.
