Auburn Public Theater Regrants
(APTR)
Auburn Public Theater Regrants, thanks to New York State Senator Rachel May, returns for the 2025 calendar year. This program is replacing the previous Statewide Community Regrants (SCR) funded through NYS Council on the Arts. All 2025 applicants will apply for either a Public Arts grant or an Individual Artist grant. For this regrant cycle, all prior/new Arts Education applicants are encouraged to apply for the Public Arts grant. Applicants are eligible to apply if they reside in Wayne, Yates, Ontario, Seneca, or Cayuga Counties.
No informational seminars will be required for new or previous applicants; if any such informational seminars are necessary a private Zoom or in-person seminar will be arranged with the Auburn Public Theater Regrants Coordinator.
All previous rules and guidelines for the SCR program will be modified to fit the needs of Auburn Public Theater’s Regrant Program. In 2025, maximum amount available for Public Arts applicants is $2,500 . Maximum amount available to Individual Artist applicants remains $2,500. All applicants will apply through Submittable, accessible below.
Total amount funded during the 2025 Regrants Cycle will amount to $75,000. A gentle reminder that new applicants do take priority for funding. The 2025 APTR Cycle commences on January 1st, 2025 and closes February 25th, 2025. A panel date will be chosen for Spring 2025 with all awards being awarded by Memorial Day 2025 at the earliest.
