Created as a temporary commission in 1960 with a study grant of $50,000, the New York State Council on the Arts was established as a permanent State agency the following year with an operating budget of $450,000. In that year a performing arts Touring Program, a Traveling Exhibitions program, and Technical Assistance were instituted, and 1962 saw the expansion of these programs and the institution of the Special Projects program. The Council\u0027s budget for 1962 reached $560,250. In 1963-64, the Council expended $534,219; and in 1964-65 new Young Artists and Poetry Programs and the inclusion of children\u0027s theatre in the Touring Program brought Council expenditures to $562,335. The budget increased to $771,895 in 1965-66, with the Council contributing to the first Buffalo Festival of the Arts Today and starting a program of performing arts in schools. In 1966-67 new State funds for the Museum Aid Program and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts dramatically raised the Council\u0027s budget to $1,554,477. A detailed breakdown of Council expenditures for the three following years appears on the facing page. 1967-68 1968-69 1969-70 Funds received NYS State Purposes Fund $1,305,285 $1,891,861 $2,206,474 Local Assistance Fund 592,300 600,000 Miscellaneous Appropriations Funds 50,000 U.S. Government (National Council on the Arts grant) 39,383 30,909 36,363 Total funds received $1,936,968 $2,522,770 2,292,837 Personal Service Staff 101,846 232,753 265,824 Temporary help 34,039 8,750 5,000 Maintenance and operation 71,660 154,790 161,375 Programs Festival Program 200,000 140,000 Film Program 46,260 60,000 45,000 Financial Research 11,500 Ghetto Arts Program 300,000 350,000 300,000 (1) Museum Aid Program Council Members Seymour H.
