Creative Partnership Grants (C.P.G.)

The Creative Partnership Grant Program is a local arts in education funding program that is administered by the Upper Catskill Community Council of the Arts (UCCCA) in Oneonta. The program is funded and supported by the Local Capacity Building Initiative of the Arts in Education Program at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) .

The Local Capacity Building Initiative is a statewide effort to provide local support for widespread participation in arts in education. It makes grants in support of partnerships between schools and teaching artists or cultural organizations that focus on the interdisciplinary or integrated study of the arts and non-arts subjects. The applicants of record for this program will be a school and either an individual teaching artist or a cultural organization. However, eligible projects will involve a direct collaboration between at least one classroom teacher and one teaching artist. Grants range from $500 to $2,000. The funded project must take place between January 1 and June 30 of the school year.
