Seagle Music Colony expansion furthered by state funding award

ALBANY | Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced $82.2 million has been awarded through the New York State Council on the Arts' Capital Projects Fund to support 132 projects in every region of the state, including a significant award to Seagle Music Colony. This investment in non-profit arts and cultural organizations across New York supports crucial building renovations, accessibility improvements and new spaces for creative and cultural work. Awards were given in all 10 regions of New York State, with 77 percent of the grants awarded to organizations with budgets under $3 million. "New York's powerful arts and culture sector is a formidable asset," Gov.Hochul said. "Our continued investments in museums, theaters and art centers generate incredible returns — sparking innovation, boosting local economies, driving visitors and making us the global epicenter of arts and culture." NYSCA's Capital Projects for Arts and Culture are strategic investments that empower organizations to better serve and engage their communities. They enable arts and cultural venues to become more physically accessible and sustainable, enhancing organizations' abilities to connect with their audiences and become essential destinations for residents and visitors alike. Strong projects combine excellence in design with informed decisions that will serve and strengthen New York's arts and cultural sector, stimulate local economies, catalyze investment in our communities and help to ensure the vibrancy of our cultural organizations. NYSCA awards announced June 2 included three grant categories: Small and Midsized Capital Improvement Grants, which range from $10,000 to $2 million; Large Capital Improvement Grants, which range from $2 million to $10 million and focus on large-scale capital projects that prioritize community development and placemaking; and Capital Design Grants, which range from $10,000 to $500,000 and support the development of mid-stage and advanced design documents to advance capital projects for arts and cultural nonprofits. In the North Country, Seagle Music Colony Inc. was awarded a Mid-Sized Capital Improvement Grant, which will further a campus update that will include new artist housing, a dining hall and a multi-use space to create a year-round cultural destination.
