Earlville Opera House Announces Grant Program
EARLVILLE—The Earlville Opera House announced the allocation of $195,000.00 in cultural funding to 54 non-profit organizations and artists through the 2023 Broome, Chenango and Otsego Statewide Community Regrants Program. The New York State Council on the Arts established the SCR (previously known as Decentralization) Program in 1977 to foster the continued development of local cultural resources responsive to community need. SCR serves all of New York State’s 62 counties, including areas that are geographically isolated, economically disadvantaged and ethnically diverse. The EOH is one of 26 SCR sites across the state. The basic principle of SCR regrant funding is local decision-making using a peer panel grant evaluation process. The SCR program offers grant support up to $5,000.00 for Community Arts and Arts Education projects and $2,500.00 for Individual Artist Commissions. Twenty-one grant recipients are based in Otsego County.
