New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a nearly $60 million Cultural Development Fund to support over 1,000 cultural organizations across the five boroughs. This unprecedented funding aims to enhance visual arts, theater, film, and dance initiatives, providing crucial backing for the local cultural ecosystem. Notably, the fund emphasizes support for individual artists, smaller nonprofits, disabled individuals, and language learners. DCLA Commissioner Laurie Cumbo emphasized the fund's importance, asserting that the cultural sector is vital for New York's identity and economy.
Simply put, there is no New York City without the cultural sector that strengthens our communities, drives our economy, and makes us the creative capital of the world.
It brings confidence that New York is reinvesting into the arts when the arts are nationally at risk. So for me, it is a mark of value that our Mayor is investing into the arts.
That's really helpful for us because it fortifies New York City as the central creative ecosystem of America, quite frankly, the world.
The work that goes into making our cultural sector thrive starts with the 1,000+ nonprofits that we're proud to support through the Cultural Development Fund.
