SARATOGA SPRINGS – Saratoga Arts has announced the recipients of the 2017 Community Arts Grants for organizations and individual artists in Fulton, Montgomery, and Saratoga Counties. Grants totaling $97,800 have been awarded to support 29 organizations and artists coordinating community-based arts events in 2017.
With funding that it is awarded from the New York State Council on the Arts, since 1991, Saratoga Arts has awarded $1,243,800 to support local organizations coordinating community-enhancing and life-enriching arts programs in Fulton, Montgomery, and Saratoga Counties.
