The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York) are thrilled to announce the 91 recipients of the 2023 NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program). Through this regrant program, $340,000 was distributed via flexible, general operating support grants to small theatres across New York State.
Recipients of the Creative Opportunity Fund were determined by a panel of theatre-makers from New York City and across the state. Nominations for panelists were solicited from the community, and 20 panelists met virtually to score and allocate funding for the 113 applicants.
A.R.T./New York is thrilled to partner for the sixth year with the New York State Council on the Arts to continue to build and strengthen the theatrical field statewide.
“A.R.T./New York’s strategic investments in nonprofit theatres are critical to the growth and viability of New York’s arts and culture sector,” said NYSCA Executive Director Mara Manus. “NYSCA is thrilled to work with A.R.T./New York at this critical juncture in our sector’s recovery to ensure that these vital dollars reach theatres statewide. On behalf of the entire NYSCA Team, congratulations to all 91 awardees!”
