Arts in Orange Offer 3 Grants for 2013 Art and Cultural Projects

Arts in Orange is pleased to announce the availability of three separate grants to support arts and cultural projects taking place in 2013 in Orange County.  Arts Community Grants (ACG), Arts Education Grants ( AEG) and two Individual Artist Grants (IAG) are local regrant programs of Arts in Orange.  These three specific grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and are administered by Arts in Orange.

All applicants are encouraged to register and attend one free 90-minute grant application workshop, which will be offered throughout Orange County in September and early October 2012.  The person responsible for completing the grant application should attend. These workshops, which are free and open to the public, answer questions about the application process, review the requirements, and highlight the grants funding priorities for 2013.  Review Sessions for individual assistance is also available.  These sessions are designed for first-time applicants, as well as those who have had their grant applications turned down in the past.  The deadline for submitting the IAG application is 4pm Tuesday, October 16, 2012; the ACG application is 4pm Tuesday, October 23, 2012; AEG application is 4pm Tuesday, November 6, 2012.

Reservations are required for all Application Workshops and Review Sessions prior to the scheduled date.  Please call the Arts in Orange office at 845.956.0005 or email Suzanne Schubert, Executive Director, at info@artsinorange.org to reserve a space. We hope you will help us share this information with the community. Workshop locations and dates are as follows:
