The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York) presents a one-hour virtual conversation exploring the benefits of creating a Common Application for arts funding. This shareout highlights the work of the New York Grantsmakers in the Arts Common Application Working Group and invites grantees and funders alike to learn more about the progress being made toward reducing barriers in the grant application process.
Together, we discuss:
- The challenges this initiative seeks to solve
- The benefits of a Common Application for both grantees and funders
- The process and approach of the Working Group
- How A.R.T./New York and the Howard Gilman Foundation are beginning to implement this work
- Hopes and visions for expanding Common Application use across the field
Whether you’re a funder, grantee, or an arts professional invested in equity and access, this shareout is an opportunity to learn about a collaborative effort to transform grantmaking practices for the better.
Facilitated by Daneille King, director of program services, A.R.T./New York
