SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. » Home Made Theater announced a grant award totaling $49,500 from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to support the recovery of the nonprofit arts and culture sector. Following New York State’s $105 million investment in the arts for FY2022, NYSCA has awarded more than $80 million since June 2021.

“The arts have long been a critical sector in our economy, and as we continue to rebuild a stronger New York, it’s essential we do all we can help this industry thrive once again,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “These awardees represent the best of what New York’s vibrant communitie­s have to offer and with this funding in hand, they will be able to not only continue their creative and inspiring work, but help spur revitaliza­tion in their own backyard as well.”

“NYSCA applauds Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislatur­e for their responsive investment of $105 million for the nonprofit arts and culture sector. 2022 will continue to bring change and Home Made Theater will play a vital role in the renewal of our state’s economy and creative ecosystem,” said Mara Manus, Executive Director, NYSCA. “On behalf of the entire NYSCA Team, we wish to extend our sincere congratula­tions on Home Made Theater’s award.”

Home Made Theater will use the funds to help fulfill their mission, which is to enrich the cultural life of the Capital Region and beyond by offering a diverse range of locally sourced live theater created by profession­ally minded artists, providing the opportunit­y for exciting and rewarding participat­ion in all aspects of theater to the community.
