Dance/NYC's Coronavirus Dance Relief Fund: New York State Edition

Hayden Haynes from the Seneca Nation is currently helping with outreach with Dance/NYC’s Coronavirus Dance Relief Fund: New York State Edition. Hayden understands that the vast majority of those receiving information on Creatives Rebuild New York Artist Outreach Corp., are not dancers nor have specific relationships to dance organizations. However, it is his hope that you might know someone in your family, community or Nation that is a dancer, and could benefit from these opportunities. Below is some info about the two programs.

Creatives Rebuild New York (CRNY), Artist Outreach Corp Applications are now open for Tier II: Organizations and Groups.

Tier I for individual dance makers closed on April 20, 2022, if more than 1500 applications are received prior to this date.

This is made possible by the generous support of the New York State Council on the Arts, the purpose of this Fund is to continue Dance/NYC’s existing relief efforts and mitigate the continued impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on individual dance makers and small-budget organizations and groups with budgets between $10,000 and $250,000 based in New York State. Dance/NYC plans on distributing a total of $150,000 to 100 individual dance makers.
