RESTART NY REGRANT WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
The Tri-County Arts Council is delighted to announce recipients of Restart NY Regrants, a special grant initiated by the governor’s office to help New York State recover from months of COVID-19 quarantine and isolation. This opportunity is 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 governor and New York State Legislature and administered by Tri-County Arts Council.
“The Restart NY regrant is a unique and generous opportunity to promote live performing arts in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties as we slowly recover from the long isolating months of COVID-19,” Mikel Wintermantel, executive director of the Tri-County Arts Council, said, adding, “The intent was to appropriate funding for live performances in an effort to encourage people to get out and about and enjoy the wide variety of cultural organization events and groups we have in this community.”
All grant recipients are non-profits from the tri-county region which work diligently with scarce funding to bring live performing arts to their communities, many of which are rural and a considerable distance from big city theaters and symphony orchestras. The Arts Council is honored to disperse over $41,000 in regrants for the following live performing

AboutThe Tri-County Arts Council administers New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) funding in Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. This year, the Arts Council regranted over $76,000 to artists and arts organizations in our region.
Founded in 1977, The New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program (DEC) was developed to ensure New York State’s cultural funding reached every part of the state. DEC funding provides support for community-based arts & cultural activities through a local decision making grant process that reflects the unique character of each community. In 2000, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) appointed the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (now the Tri-County Arts Council) to administer the DEC Program for Cattaraugus, and soon after gained administration of Allegany and Chautauqua counties.

The grant programs at the Tri-County Arts Council are made possible with funding by the New York State Council on the Arts with support from Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
