| Solicitation Profile |
Special Arts Services (SAS) supports professional arts activities that serve distinct cultural and ethnic communities as well as organizational and project programming providing the following: programs that enhance access to the arts for historically underserved communities, activities that bring the arts to isolated geographic areas and to communities with high rates of poverty, programs for people with disabilities, scholarship programs for arts training and tuition-free or low cost classes serving students from historically underserved communities or with disabilities; and arts programs that promote intergenerational and multicultural communities, including ethnic traditions that serve their own unique and diverse populations.
SAS espouses a truly inclusive and dynamic understanding of diversity, and acknowledges the many variables that shape and energize the people of New York. SAS organizations are exemplary in their aggregate embodiment of race, gender, culture, language, income, age, and geographic diversity, and are often at the very forefront of issues like access to the arts, relational violence, youth at-risk, and homelessness. In all, SAS champions arts initiatives that reflect and celebrate the diverse richness of the entire State today.
SAS supports the activities of established and emerging organizations and professional training in arts disciplines to promote advanced study or entry of underserved artists towards an arts career. Special Arts Services encourages collaborations and innovative projects, whether they are multi-disciplinary activities or in a specific discipline of the performing arts, visual arts or media.
Though all Programs supported by NYSCA must be open to the general public, programs supported by Special Arts Services must specifically occur within and primarily directed for the underserved communities it seeks to serve.
Community-based organizations may apply for Special Arts Services grants that would support activities outside of their communities, but these programs must be primarily marketed to the specific underserved community served by the applicant, and the activities must relate directly to the mission of the organization.
The NYSCA grant program strives to make investments of public funds that serve all communities and people that comprise New York State’s citizens and visitors. NYSCA strongly supports, values, and encourages the sustained and concerted efforts of non-profit art, culture and heritage organizations to be inclusive and have its workforce, artists and programmatic offerings reflect New York State’s diversity of people, geography and artistic interests.
