Staten Island Arts Grant

For nearly 30 years, Staten Island Arts has been providing grants to artists, collectives, and nonprofit organizations creating original work, producing cultural programming, and fostering arts education on Staten Island. Public engagement is central to their work, from guiding community-led grant review panels to grantees’ public sharing of work. They offer information sessions and office hours to guide applicants, and digital marketing support for funded projects. Read on to learn about our current and upcoming opportunities, and to explore past grantee projects.

Through this competitive process, individual artists, unincorporated collectives, and small-budget non-profit organizations are eligible to receive public money for cultural activities made available through the generosity of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts. Staten Island Arts’ grant funding is available for artists who are both Staten Island residents and creating projects on Staten Island during the year grants are issued.
