SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Arts announced the grantees for the 2022 Community Arts Regrant Program which supports organizations and individual artists in Fulton, Montgomery, and Saratoga Counties.
Forty-seven grants totaling $148,496.96 have been awarded to support community based arts events taking place in 2022.
“We are thrilled to be setting a record this year not only in the amount of funding distributed but also with the number of projects we will be able to fund,” said Charlie Owens, Grants and Community Relations Manager, in a statement.
“After years of isolation, it is thrilling to know these funded projects can continue to create art in our communities and, perhaps more importantly, build community through the arts.”
With funding awarded from the New York State Council on the Arts, Saratoga Arts’ Community Arts Regrant Program supports artists, non-profit organizations, and government departments.
This years’ grant recipients will be acknowledged and celebrated at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, at Saratoga Arts, 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. The event is free and open to the public. Register in advance by calling 518-584-4132 or online at saratogaarts.org/events.
