Application Deadline March 3, 2025
Earlville Opera House (EOH) is pleased to announce the 2025 Arts in the Community Grants Program (ACG) available in Broome, Chenango and Otsego counties. ACG has replaced the programs known as Decentralization (DEC) and Statewide Community Regrants (SCR). Grants are available for not-for-profit organizations, municipalities and Tribal Nations, as well as individual artists or artist collectives. A total of $67,500 is available for projects taking place in calendar year 2025 and through the first quarter of 2026.
The ACG Program offers support in the following categories:
Community Arts Grants for arts and cultural projects to community-based not-for-profit organizations, groups, and collectives as well as individual artists working in partnership with a local not-for-profit organization.
Individual Artist Grants for the creation of a new work with a community engagement component.
A series of virtual Grant Workshops will be held for potential applicants to review the guidelines and application process. The workshops are free and scheduled on Zoom in January and February. Pre-registration is required by emailing [email protected]
“The 2025 Grant Cycle is a streamlined process with only two categories,” said Victoria Calvert Kappel, Program Director of Arts in the Community Grants. “We look forward to continuing our service to the cities, towns, and villages of Broome, Chenango, and Otsego counties with this critical funding for community cultural initiatives.”
