Cultural Retreat Policy Map

Summary

The Culture Retreat is an annual in-person gathering of the NY4CA network of cultural community members. As part of our second annual retreat, we completed a policy map exercise led by Mauricio Delfin of Cultural Policy Institute. 

Participants listed organizations with which they are affiliated and/or have extensive knowledge whose work is related to the following culture-related advocacy areas:

  • Arts Education

  • Cultural Equity

  • Data Transparency 

  • Disability Justice

  • Latinx, Immigrant, Black, Indigenous, etc.

  • Reform CDF

  • Supporting Individual Artists

  • Thriving Ecosystem

Please use this map to find other groups working on areas you are interested in. Our hope is that you reach out to groups doing work you want to join. 

If you want to add your group or groups you know of to this map, please contact Peter@ny4ca.org. We will try to update the map twice yearly. 

If you are interested in attending next summer’s Culture Retreat, please contact our Director of Membership kneaku@ny4ca.org
