The St. Lawrence County Arts Council (SLC Arts) administers a state-funded grant program in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence Counties, and the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation.

Through the Statewide Community Regrants (SCR) Program, SLC Arts will award $160,000 to individual artists, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, government entities, Tribal Nations, and unincorporated  collectives, to fund 2025 arts programming.  

SLC Arts offers three grant opportunities: The Individual Artist Grant is a $3,000 grant funds the creation of new work by individual artists; the Arts Education Grant ($500-$5,000) funds arts education projects; and the Community Arts Grant ($500-$5,000) funds community-based arts experiences such as concerts, theater, exhibits, spoken word, etc.  Projects in any artistic discipline - music, theater, literature, poetry, dance, visual arts, media arts, etc. are supported.  

SLC Arts will hold a series of Arts Funding Info Sessions to allow potential applicants to learn more about available grants and the application process. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. All first-time applicants are REQUIRED to attend an info session or meet with the Grant Coordinator before submitting an application.  To register for an info session, please visit  slcartscouncil.org/grants.
