Previous Grant Winners Express Their Appreciation:
Lisa Ford, a filmmaker and professor at Tompkins Community College, is grateful for the financial assistance that the Arts Council provided for her recent film project. “Directing my short film, ‘The Teacher’, was a rewarding artistic experience that could not have happened without the Skaneateles Arts Council grant. As a twenty-year resident of Skaneateles, I was delighted to have this support from my community!”
Carey Eidel, Managing Director of Auburn Public Theater, which received a grant to help launch the Auburn Community Choir, agrees. “Thanks to the generous support of the Skaneateles Arts Council, we were able to launch the Auburn Community Choir, which attracted about 35 members of the community. We believe this program truly fulfills the mission of Auburn Public Theater to provide space that is inclusive to all parts of our community and to make sure that participants and audiences alike enjoy a fulfilling, heartwarming experience.”
