One of CAP's primary goals is to get funds into the hands of artists and arts organizations for programs and projects that will enrich Tompkins County's already vibrant arts community.

With funding support from the New York State Council on the Arts as well as local donors and supporters, we're able to offer a number of grant programs. Applications for the following grants are now available at ArtsPartner.org:

• 2011 Grants for Arts Programs - GAP (formerly called Decentralization Grants)
• 2011 Artist in Community Grants (formerly known as "CAP II")
• 2011 Artist/Teacher Partnership Grants (formerly known as "LCB Grants")
  and
• 2010 CAP Fellowships for Artists
