It’s our favorite time of year — we finally get to announce the artists, organizations, and communities selected to receive funding through this year’s NYSCA Statewide Community Regrant (SCR) Program.
ASI’s Statewide Community Regrants program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
ASI’s SCR program provides support in three grant categories: Community Arts, Arts Education, and Individual Artist. The program is designed to foster local arts activity and strengthen community access to the arts.
These funds are distributed by ASI based on the recommendations of four grant review panels composed of artists, arts administrators, and community leaders representing Erie, Niagara, and Chautauqua counties. We are deeply grateful for the time, expertise, and thoughtful perspectives each panelist brought to the process.
As in years past, we continue to be inspired by the creativity and community-centered vision reflected in every application we receive. We are grateful to every applicant who invested their time and energy into sharing their work with us. While we wish we had the resources to fund every project, we hope those who were not selected this year will consider applying again in the future!
This year, ASI awarded $152,500 in SCR funding to 29 artists and organizations. Please join us in congratulating this year’s grantees, and stay tuned to ASI’s website, Facebook, and Instagram for opportunities to learn more about their projects and support their work.
