NYC Dance Field-Wide Calls
Stay connected with NYC's Dance Community
Since May 28, 2020 Dance/NYC has been hosting calls with the dance field to address pressing questions, needs, and plans for the future of dance in the metropolitan NYC area. The calls have focused on disseminating information related to COVID-19 and on facilitating resource-sharing amongst the dance community.
Calls occur monthly on the third Thursday of the month from 4:00 pm. – 5:00 p.m. Any member of the community is welcome to attend.
March 16, 2023: Funding for Arts and Culture
and the NYC Budget Process
Join the Dance/NYC Field-Wide Call on Thursday, March 16 from 4:00–5:00 p.m. on Zoom to learn more about the current New York City FY2024 budget process, what’s at stake for the arts and culture sector, and what you can do about it.
Every year, the New York City government goes through a budget process to deliberate on how the city spends money. The city budget is more than just a financial statement—it’s a reflection of policy decisions and priorities made by our elected officials. The outcomes of the budget deliberations will determine funding to support arts and culture in NYC for the next fiscal year.
Dance/NYC Research & Advocacy Manager, Ariel Herrera will:
• Go over the budget process and timeline
• Outline important upcoming advocacy opportunities
• Provide tools dance workers can use to engage with elected officials to ensure that the budget decisions they make reflect our needs.
Registration is free.
Accessibility for the calls: CART captioning services will be provided for the Field-Wide Call. Additional accessibility services, including ASL interpretation, can be provided upon confirmed requests in advance of each meeting (24hrs). Email research@dance.nyc for accessibility service requests.
