Mission
The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) is an Executive agency with a primary mission of preserving the State's cultural resources and expanding access to the performing and fine arts. NYSCA annually awards approximately 1,900 arts grants. The grants are largely used to subsidize operating costs of not-for-profit arts organizations, including symphony orchestras, museums, dance companies and theatres. Arts grants generally range from $2,500 to $135,000 based on the size and scope of the project.
