The CNY Arts Individual Artist Commissions support local, artist-initiated projects that demonstrate strong artistic merit and will have a significant community impact. Up to two Commissions will be awarded per county. The project must take place in the same county the applicant permanently resides.
Program Goals & Requirements
Individual Artist Commissions are intended for artists—such as composers, choreographers, writers, and visual artists—who are creating new and original work within a community setting. Artists at all career stages are welcome to apply. Commissions are not intended for interpretive work—e.g. an actor performing an existing play.
An element of this commission is the inclusion of community involvement in the development and creative process of the artist’s project. The project must encompass a segment of the community through some sort of feedback, response, interaction, and/or social practice.
Eligible Applicants
Must be at least 18 years and permanently reside in the same county the proposed activity will take place.
