More on the Creative Opportunity Fund

The NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund is a statewide theater regrant program that provides grants of $2,000 to $6,000 to support either organizational growth or the development of new work for the professional theater in New York State. This grant addresses small professional theaters or independently producing artists with budgets of $500,000 or under. A.R.T./New York regrants NYSCA funds, and all applicants and grantees will interact with A.R.T./New York as their grant-maker.
