Arts Thrive & Grow: Grant Program
For artists and non-profits residing in Albany, Rensselaer, and Schenectady counties
“Arts Thrive & Grow” is a dynamic program dedicated to supporting artists, non-profits, and art-based organizations in the capital region. Through a range of grants and initiatives, we empower individual artists to create new works, non-profits to enrich their communities with art, and smaller art-based organizations to build capacity. By investing in these creative endeavors, we not only foster artistic innovation but also drive economic development, ensuring that the arts continue to flourish, thrive, and contribute to the sustainable growth of our creative economy in the capital region.
