Funding

Last Friday, I had an application due for the Experimental Television Center. They have finishing funds that help to support the completion of projects. This would go a long way to supporting the technical cost of the project. As usual, I will hope and pray that they find my effort interesting.

I also applied for Fiscal Sponsorship through the Dutchess County Arts Council. This will allow supports to donate tax defer able contributions to the project.

At the end of the month, I have applications due to the New York State Council on the Arts.

DCAC Awards Banquet

On Thursday March 6th, I attended the Dutchess County Arts Council Grant Award Ceremony. At the meeting, I got to meet and talk to many people who are very excited about the Hyde Park Project. This really energized me with the belief that what I am trying to accomplish is positive effort for the arts and community. I appreciate all of the people who spoke with me and was very excited to meet them.

The ceremony include the distribution of the grant funding. I've received a small amount of money that will get the project off to a great start. Though, I am finding that the equipment, promotion and insurance needs will quickly use up this source. So, I will be out searching for more funding through state grants and local sources.

Funding and Support - Thanks

This is a note of thanks to the Dutchess County Arts Council for their support and funding. The grant that I received through them was established through funds from New York State Council on the Arts’ Decentralization Department.

Also to the Hyde Park Free Library, specifically Greg Callahan, for sponsoring my application and helping to provide a connection to the community of Hyde Park.
