4 6 5 A14 Westchester County Business Journal • ARTSNEWS JULY/AUGUST 2019 spotlight Grants Are FUEL ArtsWestchester and Westchester County Government have a long and impressive history together. Since 1975, they have partnered on a For The Arts grants process that is equitable and impartial, similar to ones used by both state and federal agencies in which ArtsWestchester convenes outside panels made up of arts professionals to review grant requests. Together, the partners are pleased to announce a first round of $883,420 grants to 66 organizations and six individual artists. A second round of challenge grants will be announced later in the year. These grants are funded by Westchester County government, administered by ArtsWestchester, and are emblematic of the County's support of its cultural industry. This year, seven new organizations entered the funding pool, adding new programs to the broad menu of cultural activities that are available to County residents:

Bethany Arts Community in Ossining provides a space in which creatives can work together as a community to foster and nurture new ideas. Its six-week multidisciplinary residency will bring more than 30 artists from a range of disciplines together to engage with the general public through free programming such as workshops and artist talks.

Chappaqua Orchestra’s ensemble of professional-level artists will present two concerts with guest conductors. One will celebrate the Orchestra’s 60-year history and the other will highlight significant women composers from around the world.
