“Arts Thrive & Grow” is a dynamic program that supports artists, non-profits, and art-based organizations in the capital region.
By investing in these creative endeavors, we not only foster artistic innovation but also drive economic development, ensuring that the arts continue to flourish, thrive, and contribute to the sustainable growth of our creative economy in the capital region.
All grants will be awarded by using a panel of your peers in an objective scoring process. Arts Thrive and Grow has been funded by New York State, Kathy Hochul, Governor.
We thank Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins for her extraordinary commitment and leadership, and our elected officials who represent our grantmaking region: Senators Jake Ashby and Neil D. Breslin; Assemblymembers Scott H. Bendett, Patricia Fahy, John T. McDonald III, Angelo Santabarbara, Phil Steck, and Mary Beth Walsh.

The Arts Center is offering dancers, dance companies, and choreographers studio space for the low, low cost of $0/hour to develop or rehearse new work with the intention of future performance. This dance rental assistance program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
For studio availability email jamie@artscenteronline.org with your interest.
Renters who fail to show up for their reservation will no longer be eligible for the $0/hour rate. Renters who use the dance studio for non-dance work will be charged $40/hour.
The Critical Forum program is an intensive professional development opportunity for emerging and mid-career artists.
Each year, a maximum of twelve participants are chosen for this program through an open-call application process (details will be announced in February 2024). The cohort meets monthly over 6 months at The Arts Center in Troy, NY. These focused group critiques are led by the Critical Forum Program Director plus invited colleagues from the field, including arts professionals from the Hudson Valley region and beyond.
The Critical Forum program is offered by The Arts Center in conjunction with funding from the Visual Arts program at the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and Key Bank.
