NYSCA and A.R.T./New York are pleased to announce the 2021 NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program). The grant program will provide general operating grants of $2000 to theatres throughout the state with annual budgets of under $500,000. Applicants do NOT need to be members of A.R.T./New York in order to apply.

In light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and ensuing field-wide closures, there have been a number of changes to the Creative Opportunity Fund for 2021:
* All applicants will be applying for a general operating support grant of $2000.
* All applicants will submit an organizational budget. Projections for the next fiscal year are not required.
* Instead of a multi-page narrative, the application includes five short answer questions.
* Fewer supplemental materials are required.
* This year applicants can receive support in completing their application through Office Hours instead of Narrative and Budget Review (see below for more information).

The application is now open, and applications will be accepted through Monday, February 22, 2021, at 5 pm.

Please visit our website for more information on the 2021 Creative Opportunity Fund and how to apply. Sign up for information sessions on January 14, January 27, February 2, 2021.

The NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund (A Statewide Theatre Regrant Program) is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
