The SCR program was developed to ensure that New York State’s arts and cultural funding reaches every part of the state. The program forms the cornerstone of the partnership between NYSCA and local arts agencies throughout the state, providing a link between NYSCA and segments of communities that might not otherwise be able to access direct funding from NYSCA.


The ALCA grant program thanks all applicants who submitted funding proposals for the 2023 SCR awards, with special thanks both to:

  1. Municipalities and nonprofit organizations such as the Adirondack North Country Association Inc., the Downtown Artist Cellar, the Eddy Foundation, John Brown Lives!, Keene Valley Library Association, Play ADK, the Saranac Lake Rotary Foundation, the Schroon Lake Arts Council, the Town of Elizabethtown, and the Town of North Elba that served as fiscal sponsors for arts groups that are not officially recognized nonprofits or for individual artists; and

  2. The individual artists and arts enthusiasts who served as peer-review panelists—many for the second (or beyond second) time—and reviewed and evaluated several of this year’s all-time record high 91 applications and 112 projects.


To learn more about ALCA’s grant program, please contact SCR Coordinator Fred Balzac at fred@adirondackarts.org and/or 518-588-7275. For more information on ALCA’s programs and activities, please visit adirondackarts.org or contact the Arts Center at 518-352-7715.



The Statewide Community Regrants program is made possible with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
