Posted

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Decentralization (DEC) grant applications are now available for cultural programming in Sullivan County during 2016. The grants are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts, and administered locally by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA), the Arts Council of Sullivan County.

Projects can include theatre, music, dance, the literary arts, history, folklore, installation and visual arts, among others. Non-profit organizations can apply, or individual artists who wish to produce community programming can work with a Sullivan County non-profit that acts as a fiscal sponsor. Individual artists can also apply directly for an Artists in the Community DEC grant, intended to support artists who wish to engage the community in their process. The deadline is Friday, December 4.

A series of upcoming grant writing seminars, hosted by the DVAA, will assist in learning effective grant writing. Attendance is mandatory for first-time applicants. The seminars are free, but registration is required. They will be held on Tuesday, October 20, 6:30 p.m. at the Fallsburg Library in South Fallsburg; on Saturday, October 24 at 10 a.m. at the Delaware Arts Center in Narrowsburg; on Tuesday, October 27 at 6:30 p.m. at the Catskill Art Society in Livingston Manor; on Saturday, November 7, 10 a.m. at the library in Jeffersonville; and on Tuesday, November 10, 6:30 p.m. at the E.B. Crawford Library in Monticello.

Applications and guidelines are available at the DVAA office, 37 Main St., or download a fillable PDF at www.delawarevalleyartsalliance.org (see “Opportunities”). Email dvaagrants@gmail.com or call 845/252-7576.
