AARCH Awarded NYSCA Regrowth and Capacity Grants
Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) received three Regrowth and Capacity grants totaling $30,000 from the New
York State Council on the Arts. The responsive funding of NYSCA is providing nearly 1000 organizations with over $13 million in recovery support in FY23, as part of their historic FY93 $90 million in grant making and $150 million in multi-year capital support.
These funds will support our traditional craft workshops, architectural and design history programs connecting the Adirondacks to other regions of New York State, and administrative services, all part of AARCH’s ongoing recovery from pandemic challenges. In addition to the three $10,000 Regrowth and Capacity grants from NYSCA, AARCH also received a $30,000 Support for Organizations grant from the Arts Council.
