In 1977, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) developed the Decentralization program in response to a state legislative mandate that encouraged the administration and awarding of grant money at a local level. Through this program, non-profit organizations and individual artists may apply annually for grants to help strengthen the arts and cultural programs in their communities. It is the intention of the New York State Council on the Arts that these funds, regranted through Decentralization, provide developmental support to those organizations exhibiting quality programming, community support, and professionalism.
In Suffolk County, Decentralization is administered by the Huntington Arts Council. Funding decisions are made by a series of panels comprised of local artists, community leaders, and individuals from throughout Suffolk County. All decisions must receive final approval by the Board of Directors of the Huntington Arts Council, Inc
The Environmental Artist Fellowship Program created and sponsored by Barbara Roux has been terminated by the sponsor. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
