The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and the Preservation League are pleased to offer Technical Assistance Grants, with additional support from the Maurice D. Hinchey Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area / Hudson River Valley Greenway and the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.
TAG Applications are now open!
Technical Assistance Grants are available to eligible NYS nonprofits and municipalities. The TAG Program provides support for planning studies or analyses of New York State’s historic resources that serve an arts and/or cultural function. TAG funds consulting reports only, completed by architects, engineers and/or other design and preservation professionals. These grants do not fund capital construction costs, architectural plans and specifications, schematic designs, or construction documents.

We are pleased to offer 1 Continuing Education (CE) Credit per webinar / 1.5 CE credits per in-person workshop for architects offered through the New York State Education Department.
Webinar attendees: Contact Janna Rudler through the Zoom chat (webinar) or email jrudler@preservenys.org during or after the program to indicate your intent to claim education credits. Include your NAME, FIRM, TELEPHONE NUMBER, and EMAIL ADDRESS. Please specify Architect or Planner. Architects will receive certificates of completion for self-reporting.
In-person workshop attendees: Your information will be collected at the event.
The League does not report to NYSED the way that other credit programs (ex., AIA) would. Certificates of completion are for each architect's individual records and reporting procedures for maintaining licensure."
