The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts (ALCA) announced the recipients of the Restart NY Regrants 2021-22 “Mini-Grant” awards. The grants issued by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) support regional live musical performances whose ability to play in front of audiences was curtailed by the COVD-19 pandemic. The funds were part of the state’s Round 2 Restart NY pandemic relief fund.
The ALCA will distribute the funds across Clinton, Essex, Franklin, and Hamilton counties. A total of $45,500 across 20 projects will be distributed in the four counties. All of which are served by the ALCA.
By working alongside statewide a governmental organization like NYSCA the ALCA is able to distribute funding to parts of the state that otherwise might not receive public funding. The goal of doing so is to attempt to provide access to the arts in all parts of New York state.
