New Yorkers for Culture & Arts envisions a future where every New Yorker is embraced by the power of culture and the arts to enrich and transform their lives and express their shared humanity.

Working with a broad coalition, we advocate for improved policy and increased funding for culture for all New Yorkers, including individual artists, cultural organizations of all sizes, and cultural groups in historically disinvested communities.
