Three distinct grant programs:

Community Arts Grants provide project support for arts and cultural activities open to the general public. Nonprofit organizations, unincorporated groups, and individuals located in Dutchess, Orange, or Ulster Counties are eligible and encouraged to submit a grant proposal.

The Individual Artist Commission supports the creation of new work by an artist. The project must engage a segment of the community through a small-scale public presentation of the work or community involvement during the creative process of the artists’ project. Presentations and community involvement may be done in-person or virtually.

Arts Learning Grant – supports sequential, skill-based workshop series focused on the arts and artistic process. Projects can take place in-school during the school day and/or in after-school and community-based settings for youth and/or senior learners
