SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — There are two dates remaining in a series of six grant-writing seminars sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA), based in Narrowsburg. Artists and non-profit cultural groups based in Sullivan County that wish to create, produce, or present cultural programming in Sullivan County are eligible to apply for 2015 “decentralization grants” administered by the DVAA. The seminars provide hands-on information for crafting an effective grant narrative, making a budget, and networking with other artists and cultural groups.

The Arts for Sullivan grant is for cultural programming in all genres, including music, dance, theatre, the literary arts, environmental arts, visual arts, media, folklore, folk art and history. The Artist in the Community grant is for an individual artist with a project that involves the community in the artist’s process. The deadline for both grants is Friday, December 5, 2014.

The remaining seminar dates are Saturday, November 22 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Roscoe Free Library in Roscoe and Tuesday, December 2 at 6 p.m. at the E.B. Crawford Public Library in Monticello.
