NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund

(A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program) 

Recipients

 

The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York) are thrilled to announce the 108 recipients of the 2022 NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program). Through this regrant program, $340,000 was distributed via flexible, general operating support grants to small theatres across New York State. Over the past two years, the coronavirus pandemic has had an outsized impact on the performing arts community, who have pivoted to new forms and methods of engaging with their artists and audiences. We hope this funding can support theatres in capacity building and stabilization as theatres continue the ongoing work of recovery.

Recipients of the Creative Opportunity Fund were determined by a panel of theatre-makers from New York City and across the state. Nominations for panelists were solicited from the community, and 20 panelists met virtually to score and allocate funding for the 145 applicants. 

A.R.T./New York is thrilled to partner for the fifth year with the New York State Council on the Arts to continue to build and strengthen the theatrical field statewide. 

“A.R.T./New York’s thoughtful, targeted, and focused approach to make impactful investments in nonprofit theatres drives the development of New York’s theatrical sector,” said NYSCA Executive Director Mara Manus. “The performing arts were one of the hardest hit areas of the creative sector, and we are thrilled to work with A.R.T./New York to ensure that these vital dollars reach theatres statewide. On behalf of the entire NYSCA Team, congratulations to all 108 awardees!”
