This program was previously called the Decentralization Grant Program.

The Statewide Community Regrant Program provides funding to artists in Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties. The program includes three funding categories: Community Arts Grants, Individual Artists Commissions, and Arts Learning Grants.

These awards are made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.

Empowered Artist Award

Empowered Artist Award is an annual fund to provide three unrestricted funds to three artists in honor of Linda Marston-Reid (former executive director of Arts Mid-Hudson).

One of the most critical needs for artists is access to unrestricted funds so they may continue their practice, elevate their careers, and be more visible within their community. These funds will enable artists to create work, purchase new equipment, access educational opportunities, and pay their bills.
