"Culture is a pillar of our city's economy and a critical part of healthy, safe, thriving communities," Cumbo said in a statement. "No other city in America supports its cultural institutions as we do through DCLA's capital programme, partnering with institutions on construction, renovation and equipment projects to deliver remarkable cultural facilities that are open and accessible to all."
"The Art Students League has been a haven for artists and a source of accessible, high-quality fine art education for nearly 150 years and it is among the most impactful institutions in our nation's history, and in New York City today," said Michael Hall, the executive and artistic director of the League, in a statement.
Of the $213.8m earmarked for improvement projects in New York City's culture sector, the largest sum, $4.3m, will be granted to the Arts Students League of New York, where the announcement took place, in support of its 150th anniversary renovation project.
