plies, studying in a workshop situation, renting studio space, or otherwise freeing their time.
Applications are available in April and are due in mid-July. Decisions are announced in early
January. Recipients’ work is highlighted in biannual showcases. Categories available include:

the highest priority for funding in this category is activities that provide artists access to spaces
for the production, rehearsal, and public presentation of works. In fiscal year 2003 the Council
will launch a new opportunity for non-profits to compete for grants for the Commission of New
Works by New Jersey artists. These grants are not available to individual artists but are designed
to create opportunities for them and to help build the infrastructure of support for them. Artists
wishing to identify an organization to work on a project with may contact the Council for more
information.
Artists in Education (AIE)

AIE is the cornerstone of the NJSCA’s multi-faceted arts education program and is aimed at mak-
ing the arts a basic part of education. AIE places highly qualified professional artists in residence
in schools across the state. Residencies are offered in all artistic disciplines and vary in length
from 20-100 days. AIE artists are selected through an application and peer panel review process
for their artistic excellence and abilities as educators. Applications are made available each fall
and are due in January. Decisions are announced in May.
New Jersey Arts Inclusion Program/The Visual Arts Slide Registry

The Arts Inclusion Act of 1978 provides up to 1.5% of the costs of new state buildings erected at
the expense of and for the use by the state, for the inclusion of fine artwork in such projects.
Under the terms of the act, NJSCA determines the criteria to be used in the selection of artists.
Since the inception of the program, over 400 public art projects have been undertaken and
installed in state facilities throughout New Jersey. The program is firmly committed to commis-
sioning works of art that provide an integrated design solution between the site and the visual
work created. The Visual Arts Slide Registry, a non-juried slide bank, is a major resource used by
art selection committees to identify artists to submit proposals for commissions. The registry is
organized in various mediums such as painting, sculpture, photography, etc. Museum curators,
art consultants, art galleries, architects and others use the Slide Registry for exhibitions, pur-
chases and possible commissions. The slide registry is open to all artists; however, the majority
of artists who are currently registered are from New Jersey. To date, there are over 5,000 artists
on the registry. A slide registry application form may be obtained by contacting the Council. An
appointment must be made to review the registry.

New Jersey Arts Annual
New Jersey Arts Annual is a unique series of exhibitions highlighting the works of visual artists
and craftspeople in the State. Two exhibitions take place each year in alternating sequence: typi-
cally Fine Arts in the spring/summer and Crafts in the fall/winter. The series is co-sponsored by
the NJSCA and six museums across the state. All artists living or working in New Jersey are
invited to submit entries.
Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grants

Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grants are awarded annually to support the passing on of folk arts by
enabling apprentices of a traditional art form to study with a master artist. Apprenticeship grants
are based on excellence of the master artist, preparation and commitment of the apprentice,
shared cultural heritage of master and apprentice, tradition of the art form within the community
and adequacy and appropriateness of the work plan and budget. Application deadline is in May.
Decisions are made in July.

New York Foundation for the Arts
The New York Foundation for the Arts serves individual artists, promotes their freedom to
develop and create and provides the broader public with opportunities to experience and
understand their work. NYFA accomplishes this by offering financial and informational assistance
to artists and organizations that dirtly serve artists, by supporting arts programming in the
larger community, and by building collaborative relationships with others who advocate for the
arts in New York State and throughout the country.
Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA)
gives more money and support to arts organizations and artists of all disciplines than any other
comparable organization in the country: nearly $10 million in grants and services annually. Its
Fellowships of $7,000 each go to as many as 170 New York State artists every year from a field
of 16 disciplines, covering the visual, performing, and literary arts. NYFA also gives grants and
services to strengthen small arts organizations and provides artists with career development
support through workshops, information services, and print and electronic publications. For a
complete list of NYFA’s programs for individual artists, please visit www.nyfa.org/Artists.html.

About the Hotline & the New York Foundation for the Arts
In October 1990, the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation launched the Visual Artist Information
Hotline in cooperation with the American Council for the Arts (ACA). The Hotline was initiated by
members of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation’s Artist Advisory Committee, including Cynthia
Carlson, Chuck Close, Janet Fish, Philip Pearlstein, Harriet Shorr, Robert Storr and Irving Sandler.
The Hotline was intended to empower artists by providing them with complete and accurate
information about resources that will facilitate their artistic work. During its first five years of
operation at ACA, the Hotline responded to over 20,000 calls from artists nationwide. In March
1996, operation of the Hotline was transferred to the New York Foundation for the Arts.
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is a not-for-profit arts service organiza-
tion that provides grants and services to individual artists and arts-related organizations nation-
wide. Through its comprehensive programs, NYFA provides responsive leadership and offers
financial and informational support to artists and arts organizations. Individual visual artists are
eligible for several other programs at NYFA: Artists’ Fellowships - Grants for artists living in New
York State; Special Opportunity Stipends (SOS) - Awards for artists living in New York State
(except NYC) to take advantage of opportunities that will significantly benefit their career; The
Catalogue Project - Grants for women photographers over 40 in New York State to produce cata-

Pennsylvania Council on the Arts
The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) is a state agency established in 1966 by the State
Legislature. Its mission is to foster the excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts in
Pennsylvania and to broaden the availability and appreciation of those arts throughout the state.
The Council accomplishes this mission through a combination of grants to the arts; partnerships
and initiatives; technical assistance; and by serving as a resource for arts-related information for
state, federal and local government, the public, other funding entities, the arts field and other
interested organizations and individuals. Funding for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts comes
from the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual state appropriation and from the National
Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
The PCA is governed by a Council of 19 members – 15 private citizens and 4 members of
the General Assembly. The citizen members of the Council serve without compensation and are
appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Council sets the mis-
sion and goals for the agency, evaluates the progress toward these goals, formulates policy, and
makes final decisions on the use of funds. The agency has a professional staff of 16, headed by
the Executive Director. Pennsylvania Council on

abilities as educators. Directory applications are due in March.
Arts in Education Partnership

Initiated in 1995, the Pennsylvania Arts in Education Partnership program has demonstrated
unprecedented ability to expand the already strong funding record of the PCA for the support of
arts in education in the Commonwealth. The partnership, now available in 36 counties, decentral-
izes the PCA’s efforts though a network of partners comprised of local and regional
8
organizations. It fosters participation in the creative process in schools and community settings
through artist residencies, projects and partnerships between schools and other educational
institutions, artists and arts organizations.
Partners recruit, select, train, place and evaluate professional-quality artists for residen-
cies in educational environments. Partners provide professional development opportunities for
more than 2,300 artists, teachers, and community leaders; they also maintain ongoing relation-
ships with educational agencies, community arts organizations, professional organizations and
other interested parties. Through the provision of quality services to educators and students, the
Partnership has made a significant contribution to arts education in Pennsylvania.

these funding partnerships, PCA funds are available to communities and citizens who may have
been previously under served, and are awarded through a system of local decision-making.
Individual artists can apply for funding through these programs. Applications for funding are
available in the spring of each year from the local PPA partner. Applications are reviewed by local
advisory panels that represent the service area. The deadline for September 2002-August 2003

The Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation has programs available to

residents of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well
as Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia.
Arts Emerge offers planning grants generally ranging from

$3,000-$5,000 to presenter consortia or artists/companies
working with presenter consortia to plan a touring project.
The funds are to support planning efforts that enable an
artist/company and presenters to work towards a touring proj-
ect that will incorporate public performances and outreach
activities at each site. The Foundation places a priority on
multi-state projects that display strong community involve-
ment.
MAAF also sponsors an on-line Community Artists Directory,

which features regularly updated contact details and a brief
biography of skilled and experienced community artists from
all parts of the United States, arranged by region and discipline
in an easy-to-use format. Visit www.artistandcommunities.org
and explore the possibilities.
MAAF’s Visiting Artist Program, supported by the NJSCA, PCA

and several foundations and corporations provides grants for
individual artists to design and execute residencies with non-
profit organizations in the region. Creative artists (choreogra-
phers, composers, poets, writers, playwrights, filmmakers,
media and visual artists of all kinds) are eligible to participate
in residencies of one to six months in length. Activities sup-
ported include all approaches to community arts, public art
and creation of new work. The host organization applies on
behalf of the artist(s).
MAAF’s website features an online Host Site Directory to assist

artists in researching potential residency hosts. It is updated
twice a year and is searchable by discipline and state.
