Nominations of New York City Arts Organizations Invited for Union Square Arts Award

The Union Square Awards makes annual awards to grassroots organizations working in New York City.

Established in 2006, the awards recognize arts organizations working with youth and families in low-income communities throughout New York City in ongoing, innovative, and creative ways. All artistic disciplines — dance, theater, music, visual arts, film, media arts, and creative writing — are eligible. The goal is to identify arts projects and organizations making a significant impact and contribution to the lives of participants and their communities.

Candidates are identified through a nomination process. Anyone familiar with an organization's work may submit a nomination detailing the reasons why the organization should be considered for an award.

Grants will range from $15,000 to $30,000 each.

For award guidelines, nomination forms, and details on the program's awardees, visit the Union Square Awards Web site.
