BCAC Grant

Many thanks to the Broome County Arts Council, the United Cultural Fund and our many community supporters. EPAC is proud and honored to be a recipient of this important General Operating Support Grant again in 2011. The grant will certainly help EPAC continue to provide quality performing arts events and education to the community.

The Broome County Arts Council (BCAC) administers the United Cultural Fund (UCF), the only locally-funded combined campaign for the arts in the Southern Tier. The UCF is one of only about 56 active campaigns of its kind in the United States and provides essential general operating support and project grants to eligible artists and non-profit organizations in Broome County, New York.
