🤯 What an amazing day filled with the exchange of art, ideas, and critical matters the creative community is considering. As we discussed different approaches to how creatives engage with AI, it was clear from the day's presentations and our audiences' questions that their research and engagement with this new frontier will be key to shaping our future.

💻🧠 Thank you to our incredible organizers and facilitators and Chris Manzioni for bringing this dialogue to Narrowsburg.

Congratulations to our 2026 Arts For Sullivan and Sullivan County Arts and Heritage Grantees!

We're excited to see you all at today's award ceremony at at 4pm.

Since 1984, DVAA has worked with the New York State Committee of the Arts (NYSCA ) as the Statewide Community Regrants (SCR) site in Sullivan County, for the purpose of administering Arts for Sullivan funding to artists, art organizations, cultural and heritage groups. The Arts for Sullivan SCR Program is largely credited for establishing Sullivan County’s cultural life as we know it today - relevant, vibrant, and healthy. In accordance with its mandate from the State Legislature to encourage participation in the grants decision-making process at the county and regional level, NYSCA inaugurated the program in 1977 for the redistribution of public funds. This program enables selected local arts councils, county governments, or regional advisory boards to regrant state funds for arts events and cultural development in their communities.

Established by DVAA in 2000, the Sullivan County Arts & Heritage Grants (SCAHG) Program is made possible with support from the Sullivan County Legislature ( ), and provides funding to assist non-profit organizations to present or produce cultural programming in Sullivan County during 2026.
