Empowering Artists. Enriching Communities.
The Arts Center of the Capital Region is honored to provide regranting resources to local artists and organizations throughout the Capital Region.

By investing in artists and cultural organizations, we help bring bold, inspiring projects to life, enriching our region with diverse artistic voices and experiences. We are grateful for the continued advocacy and commitment to arts funding, which ensures that creativity and culture remain a vital part of the Capital Region’s identity and growth.
