Finger Lakes Community Arts Grants

 Auburn Public Theater selected by New York State Council On The Arts (NYSCA) to be the administrative site for its five-county decentralization grant program
 
 
New York State Council On The Arts (NYSCA) has selected Auburn Public Theater (APT) as a decentralization site for the regranting of funds for the arts in Cayuga, Seneca, Wayne Yates and Ontario Counties.
 
The Decentralization Program was developed to ensure New York State's cultural funding reaches every part of the state. The purpose of FLCAG is to fund nonprofit community arts organizations, arts education and individual artists who are not currently funded directly by NYSCA. Decentralization support enables emerging artists and organizations to grow professionally and to enhance the cultural climate in communities and neighborhoods where they live and work.  
 
The program was formerly administered by the Phelps Arts Center.
