Manhattan arts grants.

There’s more to LMCC than just Lower Manhattan. Each year we distribute over $550,000 to hundreds of artists and organizations all over Manhattan through our Manhattan Arts grants. In partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the city's Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), we administer three grant programs to serve Manhattan’s diverse arts community.
