2027 Delaware County Community Arts Grants
Roxbury Arts Group administers New York State Council on the Arts Statewide Community Regrants funding for community arts projects taking place in Delaware County, New York. The Community Arts track makes competitive grants of $1,500–$7,500 for accessible public arts and cultural programming, including exhibitions, performances, workshops, festivals, screenings and readings. This is applicant financial assistance, not vendor procurement.
Eligible applicants: Qualifying Delaware County 501(c)(3) or New York State nonprofit organizations may apply directly. Artists, informal groups and collectives may apply with an eligible local fiscal sponsor or Community Partner. Certain local government, quasi-government and tribal organizations may also qualify. The applicant address must be in Delaware County; state Tribal Nations have a stated geographical exception. Public school districts cannot apply directly, and private or religious schools, colleges, universities, state and county agencies, business corporations and other prohibited entity types are ineligible.
Funding and match: An applicant may request $1,500 to $7,500, but combined requests across the three Delaware County Arts Grant tracks cannot exceed $7,500 for up to three projects, except the stated Tribal Nation exception. Community Arts requires a 10% match; the general guidelines allow cash and eligible in-kind contributions toward the project funding share. The overall program pool and number of awards are not published. Partial awards are possible.
Deadline and prerequisites: Applications opened October 17, 2026, and are due January 23, 2027, at 4 p.m. (the funder does not specify the time zone). Attendance at a Roxbury Arts Group information session is mandatory; the last session and final opportunity for optional draft review is January 16, 2027.

Ineligible expenses include capital equipment, individual items above $1,000, scholarships, lobbying, prizes, fundraising or religious programs, out-of-state travel and routine privately owned facility operating costs.
