Sullivan County Artists Can Apply for Grants from Delaware Valley Arts Alliance

Artists and arts organizations in Sullivan County can now apply for funding through the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA).  The DVAA, which serves as the arts council for the county, administers Arts for Sullivan, a regrant program funded by the New York State Council for the Arts.  Three grant programs are available: community arts, arts education, and individual artist fellowships.  Community arts grants, ranging from $500 to $5,000, support nonprofits presenting arts and cultural programming throughout Sullivan County. Eligible projects include theater, music, dance, literary arts, folklore, installation and visual arts.  Arts education grants also support nonprofit organizations and artists working with community partners to provide arts education programs for pre-K to grade 12 students and community members.  These grants require a curriculum and assessment tools. Six artist fellowships, each providing $3,000, will be awarded to artists living and working in Sullivan County to support the creation of new work in visual, literary, and compositional arts. A community engagement component is required for fellowship recipients. The deadline for fellowship applications is January 30, 2025. All other applications are open until November 30, 2025. Mini-grants of $500 are also available to first-time Arts for Sullivan applicants for new or existing cultural projects. For guidelines, grant information, information session registration, and one-on-one meetings, visit delawarevalleyartsalliance.org (under “Empower”). For further information, contact Tanner Simon at 845/252-7576 ext.1004 or @ArtsforSullivan on Instagram.
