Established in 2007, our New York City Cultural Innovation Fund competition is one of the ways the Foundation spurs creative endeavors that enrich the fabric of our city. I invite you to submit your idea for a grant for a groundbreaking arts or cultural project.
Many of last year’s winners focused on innovative strategies to help the arts thrive during a time of severe economic decline.
Again this year, winners are expected to include artistic innovations, fresh business models, imaginative prototypes for public/private partnerships, entrepreneurial approaches to capital generation, and marketing to untapped audiences.
From the Foundation’s $2.5 million NYC Cultural Innovation Fund, winners will receive two-year grants, ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. Consider submitting your idea, if your organization is within the city’s five boroughs and your project falls into one or more of these categories:
• Creative engagement with the issues shaping New York City’s future cultural and civic agenda.
• Programming and premieres of new artistic work that demonstrate fresh perspectives and can activate new directions in the visual, performing and media arts.
• New partnerships among cultural organizations, community-based institutions, universities and the private sector.
• Interventions designed to confront longstanding bottlenecks and limitations on the expansion of cultural vitality with fresh approaches and solutions.
Please forward this email to any potential applicants you may know.
