Endicott Performing Arts Center awarded $50,000 by the New York State Council on the Arts for New Roof - Capital Project.
Endicott, NY – The Endicott Performing Arts Center announced today a grant award totaling $50,000 from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) to support the EPAC organization’s NEW ROOF PROJECT. This grant is part of a capital project funding announcement by NYSCA, which totals over $82 million to 132 arts and culture facilities across New York State.
The fully restored EPAC Roof will keep the 'Jewel of the Southern Tier' (the EPAC Stage) dry, and sustain this community arts center well into the future!
“New York’s powerful arts and culture sector is a formidable asset,” Governor Hochul said. “Our continued investments in museums, theaters and art centers generate incredible returns — sparking innovation, boosting local economies, driving visitors and making us the global epicenter of arts and culture.”
New York State Council on the Arts Executive Director Erika Mallin said, “We know that when the arts flourish, communities follow — bringing energy, creating jobs, expanding accessibility, and increasing tourism. This grant program is a critical investment in our creative sector, empowering our creative community and inspiring innovation. Congratulations to all the grantees, we look forward to seeing these diverse projects develop all throughout the state.”
