AUBURN, N.Y. — Schweinfurth Art Center says it will use a total of $50,000 in state-grant funding to help in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) awarded the center $30,000 in operating support and two $10,000 regrowth and capacity grants to restore its folk arts program and to rehire a part-time employee.
Schweinfurth Art Center eliminated both initiatives because of the pandemic, per its Dec. 28 announcement.
