Albany, New York – Nearly $90,000 in grants secured by Assemblymember Charles Lavine (D-North Shore) will support several arts and cultural organizations in the 13th Assembly District. The funding, provided by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), is part of a $161 million investment in the arts provisioned in the 2026 fiscal year budget passed last year.
"As a longtime patron of the arts, I feel tremendous pride in having secured tens of thousands of dollars for these organizations, Lavine said. “This funding will further enhance the already vibrant arts and cultural programs that connect, educate, and inspire residents and visitors to Nassau County,” he added.
