Deadline: April 15, 2014

Funding Amount: range from $10,000 to $25,000.

Eligibility:   see summary below
Agency:   NYC Department of Probation

Summary:   NeON Arts is a new initiative that builds on the NYC Department of Probation's successful efforts to advance public safety by engaging probation clients in the arts. Made possible through a collaboration between the private and public sectors, NeON Arts funds local arts projects in seven communities that are home to large numbers of people on probation. NeON Arts connects community-based artists and local arts organizations to probation clients who report to a Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) location. Artists and clients collaborate on projects in a variety of disciplines, including dance, music, theater, visual arts, poetry, and digital media. In addition to creating meaningful arts projects that benefit their local community, participants learn important skills and develop positive peer relationships. The partnering arts organizations are selected by the local NeON stakeholder groups, which comprise DOP clients, DOP staff, key members of the community, and local business and cultural leaders.

The seven NeON communities are Brownsville (Brooklyn), East New York (Brooklyn), Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn-opening soon), Harlem (Manhattan), South Jamaica (Queens), the South Bronx, and Northern Staten Island. Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute, an ongoing arts partner of the NYC Department of Probation, serves as the intermediary organization to provide support and facilitation for NeON Arts.
