Dutchess Partners in the Arts
Deadline: Thursday, April 4, 2024 at 11:59 PM
What is Dutchess Partners in the Arts (DPA)? For over 50 years, Arts Mid-Hudson (AMH) has taken a lead role in equitably distributing Dutchess County arts and cultural funds to Dutchess County arts/cultural nonprofit organizations, so that both residents and visitors to our region can enjoy a rich offering of arts and culture. Through a partnership with the Office of the County Executive and Dutchess Tourism, AMH is pleased to partner with arts organizations to support capacity building initiatives. We seek partners that have a history of achievement in the arts, good management, stable finances, and self-sustaining programs with the potential to make a measurable impact.
Capacity Building Initiatives support initiatives which grow the capacity of arts and cultural organizations in Dutchess County. This funding opportunity is made possible through funding from the County of Dutchess.
