Flushing Town Hall is offering a wonderful opportunity for arts/cultural non-profits with a budget of under $250,000. The arts organization will be hosting information sessions in Southeast Queens at the following locations:

Cambria Heights Public Library, October 19th

Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL), October 25th.

Times will be determined and updated for information sessions.

The Arts Grants for Queens program provides support to Queens-based artists and organizations to produce arts and cultural projects for the public in Queens, to enhance the cultural climate in communities and neighborhoods where they live and operate – to make the arts accessible to all.                               

New this year is the GO Queens Grant!

With funds from the Gilman Foundation, Flushing Town Hall will award twenty-five grants of $10,000 each for General Operating Support (GOS) — free from restrictions and able to be used by cultural nonprofits on expenses that include, but are not limited to, staff salaries, space/office rent, marketing costs, supply and equipment purchases, and costs related to programs and events.
