NYC Theatre Spaces Receives Grant
from Lower Manhattan Development Corporation

Funds will be put toward development of New York City's most up-to-date, free resource on theatre and literary rehearsal and performance spaces in the city.

March 15, 2006
 

(New York, N.Y.) — NYC Performing Arts Spaces received word on Tuesday, March 7, that the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) had awarded it a generous grant toward the development and operation of its NYC Theatre Spaces website. This is the result of the special commitment NYC Theatre Spaces has made to locate and promote spaces in Lower Manhattan, helping to spur the cultural revitalization of the area.

The NYC Theatre Spaces website will be unveiled in late 2006, giving New York City's theatre community an unsurpassed, up-to-date resource for finding spaces suitable for rehearsals, auditions and performances. At its launch, www.nycTheatreSpaces.org will list over 500 spaces throughout the city's five boroughs for theatrical performances, as well as poetry and literary readings. The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York (A.R.T./New York) is a strategic partner in the project.

Funding allocations were based on criteria established by the LMDC Board, and included: ability of the proposed project to spur long-term Lower Manhattan revitalization; programmatic excellence; capacity to leverage additional investments in culture in Lower Manhattan; organizational and fiscal viability; and durability as an investment.
