Moist roofing and not enough space: State doles out $360K to two CNY arts orgs for renovations – syracuse.com

Two Central New York arts organizations will receive a chunk of the states latest round of grant funding for the arts, totaling $42 million across New York.

The Everson Museum of Art will get $206,000 for ceiling moisture and condensation remediation, according to New York State Council on the Arts documents.

Stone Quarry Hill Art Park in Cazenovia will receive $154,000 for studio improvements and renovation.

Several Finger Lakes organizations like the Smith Center for the Arts, the Rochester Folk Art Guild and the Rochester Museum & Science Center were also awarded money for building improvements.

A total of $42,332,000 was given out for small- and medium-sized projects. Most grants went to organizations with an annual budget of $1 million or less.

The New York State Council on the Arts decided which projects to fund. The $42 million was allocated by the New York legislature and the grants were announced by Gov. Kathy Hochuls office. Large capital project awards for the coming fiscal year will be announced in a few weeks.
