About us

Through broad coalition-based advocacy, public messaging, research and education, New Yorkers for Culture & Arts aims to ensure a vibrant future for culture and arts that will benefit all New Yorkers. The coalition of cultural groups of every size is committed to securing sustainable government resources and advancing strong public policy to support cultural organizations as well as artists and the cultural workforce at large. In addition, New Yorkers for Culture & Arts will underscore the full impact of culture and arts by building bridges and collaborations with other sectors to help address some of the city’s most significant challenges, including the education of our young people, housing and space affordability, and continued efforts to support the cultural expression and aspirations of diverse populations.
