Rochester’s DEEP Arts has received a grant award totaling $49,500 from the New York Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to support the recovery of the nonprofit arts and culture sector.
DEEP Arts, Inc. is a 501(c)3 professional arts organization with a mission to offer high quality, cultural experiences that entertain while fostering enrichment, communication, positive values, and an awareness of literature, social, and historical issues to as broad and diverse an audience as possible.
DEEP Arts programming is focused on: the development and presentation of new theatre works; the presentation of contemporary theatrical works and arts education outreach activities; the presentation of theatrical works that are based on classic literature reframed to connect with contemporary issues for young audiences; and artist workshops, interactive audience activities, and educational institution support activities and materials that align with Common Core and State Learning Standards integral to DEEP Arts’ programming.
DEEP Arts is currently engaged in developing new innovative work that reflects a more expansive and collaborative creative expression of its mission, and has reached out to forge new partnerships representing the performing arts, multiple art media and community organizations to inform the direction of a new generation of multidisciplinary arts projects.
Governor Kathy Hochul said, “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 to help this industry thrive again. These awardees represent the best of what New York’s vibrant communities have to offer.”
