We believe that:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Artists are at the center of creative endeavor.<\/strong>\u00a0Therefore, we are committed to providing artists with opportunities for artistic development and the public presentation of their work.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Strong arts and cultural organizations are vital to connecting the arts to people&#8217;s lives.<\/strong>\u00a0We are committed to assisting a wide range of arts and cultural organizations \u2013 small and large, new and established \u2013 to achieve their artistic, programmatic, educational, community, and organizational goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every citizen of New York State can have a meaningful connection to creativity and every community has a right to cultural self-determination.<\/strong>\u00a0The Council is also committed to making the arts accessible to all the citizens of New York State. We aim to support worthy artistic and cultural activities that serve traditionally underserved communities or populations. These are the economically disadvantaged, people with disabilities, rural populations, and those who may experience discrimination on the basis of age, gender, ethnicity, culture, or sexual orientation. We are committed to fostering public understanding and enjoyment of arts and culture through support of arts education, public participation, and lifelong learning programs in schools and community settings for children and adults.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mission-facts-figures bottom-block\">\n<div class=\"row no-pad\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"single\">\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--facts-and-figures paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item\"><strong>142 Artists<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item\">\n<p>Through our Individual Artist Program and the NYSCA\/NYFA Fellowship, NYSCA commissioned and awarded 142 solo artists for FY2020.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1636 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/MacAdam-Smith-National-Guild-photo-by-MacAdam-Smith-3-3_11zon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"398\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/MacAdam-Smith-National-Guild-photo-by-MacAdam-Smith-3-3_11zon.jpg 398w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/MacAdam-Smith-National-Guild-photo-by-MacAdam-Smith-3-3_11zon-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/MacAdam-Smith-National-Guild-photo-by-MacAdam-Smith-3-3_11zon-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item\"><strong>130 New Jobs<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item\">\n<p>For 2020, NYSCA created and expanded 130\u00a0jobs and workforce training programs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1635 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/usa.camegone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Emily-Comisar-MCC_NYSCA_UnCensored_Da-Ping-Luo-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item\"><strong>$30M in Capital Funding<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item\">\n<p>Over 3\u00a0years, NYSCA awarded\u00a0$30 million to 89 projects statewide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information and photos taken from the site: arts.ny.gov<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Photo taken from the site:\u00a0www.ny.gov\/agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"region region-content-below-highlight\">\n<section id=\"block-missiontop\" class=\"block block-block-content block-block-content2b0476f0-f099-41de-aed0-3f6f9bdf1cca clearfix\">\n<div class=\"mission-facts-figures top-block\">\n<div class=\"row no-pad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"region region-content-below\">\n<section id=\"block-missionbottom\" class=\"block block-block-content block-block-content8f5f7fd2-8869-4f4e-a08e-861c6ba70267 clearfix\">\n<div class=\"mission-facts-figures bottom-block\">\n<div class=\"row no-pad\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"bottom\">\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--facts-and-figures paragraph--view-mode--default\">\n<div class=\"field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Address: 411 Fifth Avenue, 7th Floor New York, NY 10016 Phone:\u00a0(212) 459-8800 &nbsp;
