Grants

One of the Community Arts Partnership's primary goals is to get funds into the hands of artists and arts organizations for programs and projects that will enrich Tompkins County's already vibrant arts community. 

The grants listed not only provide seed money for those programs, they also offer artists and organizations the opportunity to develop plans and budgets that will make their projects easier to replicate in the future.
