Grants for Arts Programs (GAP), formerly called Decentralization Grants are for not-for-profit organizations. Funds are awarded throughout the County to libraries, arts organizations, towns, villages, community centers and the like for professional arts and cultural projects. (Individual artists can apply to "GAP" by finding a not-for-profit organization to sponsor their event.)
This program is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties.
Funded projects must be open to and promoted to the general public, be handicapped accessible and take place in calendar year 2011.
The deadline for year 2011 grants will be October 4, 2010 at 5 PM.
If you have completed your project, reports are due on November 1st. If you have not completed your project by November 1st, turn in an Interim Report by November 1st and a Final Report by December 20th.
