    Staten Island OutLOUD is the proud winner of twelve consecutive awards from the National Endowment for the Arts/The Big Read. The NEA presents The Big Read in partnership with with Arts Midwest.

    Many of Staten Island OutLOUD's year-round events have made possible in part by Encore Awards from Staten Island Arts, with public funding by NY State Council on the Arts with support of Gov. Kathy Hochul & the New York State Legislature. Some poetry workshops have been made possible in part by a grant from Poets & Writers, Inc., with public funds from the NYC Dept of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
    We're also grateful for support from the Stettenheim Foundation. Special thanks to community sponsors RPM Insurance Agency, Eltingville Veterinary Practice, and friends like you. Thanks to you all!
