A.R.T./New York is pleased to announce the recipients of the first NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program).
The NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund is a new regrant program that provides funds for small, New York State-based theatres and projects to support either organizational growth or the development of new work. The goal of the Creative Opportunity Fund is to provide a funding opportunity with a simple application process accessible to small organizations, unincorporated entities, and individual theatre artists in the interest of creating high-quality, professional theatre for the public of New York State.
A.R.T./New York Deputy Director, Ann Marie Lonsdale said, "Partnering with NYSCA to flow more money into the theatre field statewide is a huge honor for A.R.T./New York. They are fantastic partners and have invested so much in the community. It's exciting to see the diversity and breadth of the theatre field across New York State. We're really proud to be a part of this project."
The application closed on January 9th, and led to one of the most competitive grant processes in A.R.T./New York's history. We awarded a total of $42,500 to 20 companies for the 2017 fiscal year. Grants were awarded in two categories:
