Beacon Open Studios is a fiscally sponsored project through Beacon Arts. It is also made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson. Beacon Open Studios also receives monies through fundraisers like this, and sponsorships.

To honor Clara Lou Gould after 18 years of service as Beacon’s Mayor (she left office in 2007), and in recognition of her support of arts and culture in Beacon, BeaconArts created a special Fund for the Arts named for Beacon’s former Mayor.

The 2019 round of applications for the Clara Lou Gould Fund for the Arts is now open. Projects to be supported include projects or programs not generally supported by other area arts organizations, including individual artists' projects, unique exhibition, performance or public art projects, arts education programs, and community projects that promote area artists and arts activities and that draw attention to the valuable role of arts and culture in our community.

Applicants themselves may be located outside of Beacon, but must provide programming or art in Beacon or support activities that benefit Beacon's arts and cultural community.

Awards will be considered up to $1,000, and the Fund Committee reserves the right to grant multiple awards of smaller amounts.
