New York — Dance/NYC joins I am NYC Culture, a citywide campaign to increase funding for arts and culture across all New York City communities. This campaign is comprised of diverse members of the arts and cultural community from all five boroughs, including both Cultural Institutions Groups member organizations and Program Groups, along with arts and culture supporters from other sectors. We are focused on expanding access to experience and create arts and culture, increasing arts and cultural education, and supporting workforce development and diversity in the arts and cultural sector.

Please join us in asking for a $40 million increase in the city’s expense funding for the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) to be equally divided between the CIGs and the CDF (Cultural Development Fund). Such an increase would create the capacity for DCLA to increase financial support for currently funded institutions and organizations, including underfunded groups, grow funding for arts councils to offer re-grants to individual artists, and add funding to support a wider and more diverse array of new groups.
