In this episode of <strong>GrantTalk<\/strong>, <strong>Libby Hikind<\/strong>, founder and CEO of <strong>GrantWatch<\/strong> and author of <em>The Queen of Grants<\/em>, sits down with <strong>Patty Eljaiek<\/strong>, Grants Coordinator for the <strong>Huntington Arts Council<\/strong>, to uncover how arts funding transforms lives, fuels local economies across Long Island, New York, and empowers artists to keep creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Huntington Arts Council<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1963, the Huntington Arts Council serves as the official arts coordinating organization for the Town of Huntington. It is also the <strong>primary re-grant site for the New York State Council on the Arts<\/strong> in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The council provides grants across all artistic disciplines, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Performing arts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual arts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Film and media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public art<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Literature and arts education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their mission is rooted in <strong>arts advocacy<\/strong>; supporting individual artists, arts organizations, and the broader community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grants for Artists and Organizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the conversation, Patty highlighted the wide range of funding opportunities available through the Huntington Arts Council. These include Artist Fellowship Grants for individual artists, general operating support for smaller arts organizations, and arts education grants that fund both in-school and community-based programs. The council also offers micro grants, providing accessible support to artists and organizations who may be newer to the grant process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While each of these opportunities is competitive, the council places a strong emphasis on mentorship. Applicants are encouraged to schedule one-on-one calls to review eligibility, application criteria, and program alignment. As Patty Eljaiek explained, \u201cOur mission is all about arts advocacy\u2014for the artists, for arts organizations, and for the community.\u201d For those seeking additional opportunities beyond the council, GrantWatch lists thousands of funding sources in its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/cat\/2\/arts-and-culture-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arts and Culture <\/a>category<\/strong>, connecting artists and organizations nationwide with the resources they need to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Broader Impact of the Arts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond creativity, arts funding fuels <strong>economic development<\/strong>. As Patty shared, attending an arts event often leads to additional spending at local restaurants, shops, and businesses, making arts a vital driver of community growth. In Patty&#8217;s own words: \u201cThe arts are incredible drivers of economic prosperity. They fuel not just creativity, but also local businesses and community growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally important, the arts provide an outlet for self-expression, connection, and youth engagement. Programs like in-school arts education and after-school collaborations give children creative opportunities that build confidence, literacy, and community involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Huntington Arts Council on GrantWatch <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patty emphasized how <strong>GrantWatch.com<\/strong> helps connect artists and nonprofits to funding opportunities they may not know exist. By simplifying complex eligibility criteria, GrantWatch ensures more organizations can apply for the right opportunities and gain access to funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/215644\/grants-to-new-york-artists-in-eligible-locations-to-promote-professional-development.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Artist Fellowship Grants<\/a><\/strong> for individual artists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/215645\/grants-to-new-york-arts-nonprofits-in-eligible-locations-to-support-operations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">General Operating Support<\/a><\/strong> for smaller arts organizations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/209471\/grants-to-new-york-individual-artists-collectives-tribes-and-nonprofits-for-arts-programming-in-eligible-locations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Micro Grants<\/a><\/strong> that provide accessible support for both artists and organizations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advice for Artists Who Apply for Grants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<em>We don\u2019t ask you to write a dissertation. We just want you to answer the questions in your own words.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For artists hesitant about applying, Patty encouraged persistence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Answer questions directly and briefly<\/strong> on applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engage with funding sources<\/strong> by phone or email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seek mentorship and training<\/strong> to strengthen proposals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply consistently<\/strong>\u2014if one grant doesn\u2019t fit, another one will<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cMentorship is key. Every applicant has the chance to schedule a call so we can guide them through the process.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Libby Hikind and Patty Eljaiek close the episode by underscoring the importance of the arts as both a <strong>creative outlet and an economic engine<\/strong>.
