NORWICH – The Chenango Arts Council awards several types of grants available to artists, teaching artists, teachers, and arts organizations located in Chenango, Broome, and Otsego counties. 

The Decentralization Grants Program (DEC) offers two types of grants: Community Arts Grants (CA) and Arts Education Grants (AE). CA grants provide support for arts and cultural projects to community-based organizations, groups, collectives, and individual artists. These grants enable emerging artists and organizations to grow professionally and to enhance the cultural vibrancy in communities where they live and work. CA grants also provide support to develop, foster, promote, enhance, and increase community artistic endeavors that address cultural needs.
