Organizational Description

Providing essential leadership and services to empower New York State arts and cultural organizations. The Alliance of New York State Arts Organizations has a 30-year history as New York's service association for community based arts and cultural organizations. The Alliance provides leadership and vision, and delivers services, resources and tools that strengthen cultural organizations. The Alliance informs the field on statewide and national issues affecting the arts and assists local arts agencies in building community support. Alliance programs include a Rural Arts Initiative with a dedicated staff to provide organizational development and one-on-one assistance to 33 organizations serving over half the counties of the State. Statewide Arts Meetings provide new skills and networking opportunities for arts administrators, board members and artists.

A vast electronic network informs the field and mobilizes the arts community for annual events like Arts Day in Albany, the New York State Cultural Development Areas Project as well as for information and training sessions. Publications and directories, networking and referrals round out the information services.
