Individual Artists Grants

Three grants of $2,500 each are available to artists interested in creating new work within a community context. These competitive grants are based on the artistic merit of work samples, a strong interface between the community and the creative process, and a clearly defined project. They were created by the New York State Council on the Arts to further meet the needs of artists in our state.

Past projects have helped local artists:
  • Write and perform original pieces of music,
  • Create visual art for public installation,
  • Perform and create new dances and stories, and
  • Enrich the communities in which we live.
GVCA administers the Individual Artists Grants program and anticipates continued funding for these grants. The application deadline is the third Wednesday in October.

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, have resided in Livingston County for at least six months before the application deadline, and not be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program. They must attend a grant writing/information seminar or consult with the program coordinator before applying.
 
Mandatory information seminars will be posted here when scheduled.
