As New York City approaches its mayoral primary, Comptroller Brad Lander launched a comprehensive arts and culture platform aimed at revitalizing support for the city's creative community. His proposal includes a cultural prescription program to integrate art into healthcare, increased funding for individual artists, and the creation of a deputy mayor position for Arts and Cultural Life. Amid significant federal funding cuts to arts, Lander emphasizes the need for local support, especially for marginalized communities, positioning himself as a champion for a vibrant arts scene in the city.
"New York City already provides dramatically more funding for artists and arts organizations than the federal government does. So it's a critical time to step up to provide some additional resources to fill in the gaps and to hold on to our values."
