Creative Arts in New York

The Farash Foundation’s Creative Arts Grant Program invites applications from creative arts organizations in Monroe and Ontario counties, New York, for flexible operating support. This initiative is part of the Farash Foundation's ongoing efforts to foster community-driven creative solutions that enhance the cultural landscape in the region. The focus is on small to mid-size arts organizations involved in visual, literary, and performing arts, including music, theater, dance, spoken and written word, and film. Grants are intended to provide flexible, unrestricted funding to support organizations' operations. The Farash Foundation prioritizes funding for organizations that offer accessible arts programming and education as part of their core activities. These grants aim to support the stability and long-term needs of organizations, enabling them to expand their community impact, particularly through improving access to diverse arts experiences and engaging more people in creative expression. The application period opens on April 10, 2025, and closes on May 15, 2025. Interested applicants are required to submit their proposals through the FLUXX online grant portal. An information session is scheduled for April 17, 2025, and a workshop for technical assistance will be held on April 29, 2025.
