Hawley pleased with $600K in state arts funding for 139th Assembly District
Assemblyman Steve Hawley announced that arts and cultural organizations in the 139th Assembly District have received more than $600,000 in state funding.
That includes $25,000 for both the Cobblestone Museum in Gaines and the Genesee Country Village in Mumford. Those funds from the New York State Council on the Arts are in the category of “NYSCA support for organizations.”
The Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council (GO Art!) also received a similar $25,000 grant, plus $35,000 in rehearsal space for performing arts. GO Art! also received $385,000 in statewide community regrants to support arts and cultural programs in Genesee and Orleans counties.
GO Art! also was approved for funding in Statewide Community Regrant administrative fees, including $35,875 SCR administrative fees from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2025; $49,500 in fees from April 1 to June 30; and $30,125 in administrative fees from July 1 to Dec. 31.
“As your assemblyman, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is securing funding that will go toward strengthening local organizations and bettering our community,” Hawley said. “These vital grant awards will not only help boost current conditions and initiatives for these organizations, but they will also set them up for future success with targeted support and improvements. I’m proud to be able to announce this funding for our community, and I will continue to work in Albany to make sure our local institutions have the funding and resources they need to succeed.”
