Our regions fine artists, photographers, musicians, performing artists, literary artists, and dancers know it: with community support, anything is possible. The arts are educating and empowering. A thriving arts scene strengthens communities, generates income, provides jobs, enriches lives, and feeds souls. The arts can remind us where we have been and illuminate creative possibilities for the future.
Thanks to Arts Mid-Hudson’s five decades of unparalleled leadership and support, individual artists, arts organizations, educators and businesses have done more than accomplish worthy artistic aims: they have also helped secure valuable programs while contributing to our area’s economic security. And Arts Mid-Hudson has been there every step of the way.
“Being encouraged to apply and receiving a grant...as an individual and an artist, was an important validation for me that my artist voice was still alive. The feedback from the panel gave me the extra encouragement to remember myself as an artist and to consider moving forward more in that direction.”
- Maria Marewski,2006 Artist Fellowship Awardee, an Arts Mid-Hudson Grantee, and founder of the Children’s Media Project
Arts Mid-Hudson has distributed nearly 5 million dollars across Dutchess and Ulster Counties over the last 20 years, funding arts programs and adding arts education back into the schools.
Arts Mid-Hudson’s Golden Anniversary celebration kicks off in spring 2014 and continues through the spring of 2015. That’s a full year of exciting arts events in Dutchess, Ulster and Orange Counties!
Our 50 Locations/50 Weeks celebration will encompass artists’ networking gatherings, community arts events, parties in five locations plus other arts community outreach.
We will highlight our milestones from 1964 to today and make note of key artists and organizations. We will also celebrate our funders and supporters as we feature successful projects and artists through the years whose artistic goals were met with help from our grants.
As a sponsor, it’s a win-win for your company as you will show your support of our local arts, heritage and cultural organizations while building your presence throughout the region. Each event will attract strong community engagement, allowing you to reach current and new clients, businesses and organizations in three counties, home to more than 850,000 residents.
win-winIt’s a
for you“Through Arts Mid-Hudson’s general support and project grants I’ve presented my music to the public since 1982… No one can be successful unless there are others who want them to be successful, and Arts Mid-Hudson provides the necessary visibility and sustained advocacy for that success.”
- Joe Bertolozzi, Composer and Musician, 2012 Individual Artist Award, 2011 Artist Fellowship Award
“The Arts Mid-Hudson funding was primary in the realization of this sculpture because the equipment was quite expensive and it was the deciding factor for the piece to be made at all.”
- Franc Palaia, 2005 Grant recipient, creator of a green public artwork ‘Solar House Sculpture’
The “Art Bus” will travel to each of the 50 Locations/50 Events offering unique recognition for corporate signage.

“The arts are an important component of every vibrant community. Art improves the quality of everyone’s life and adds to the economic activity here. It’s one of the most compelling reasons why this is such a special place to live, work and raise a family.”
- Wayne Nussbickel, 2012 Arts Fund Chair, President, N&S Supply
