NYC Department of Cultural Affairs’ Post

Hold on to your paintbrushes 🖌🎨—NYC’s cultural sector just got a windfall of capital funding—$213.8 million to be exact!! Yesterday, Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo joined community and cultural leaders at The Art Students League of New York to announce this new capital investment for 80 cultural organizations across the five boroughs as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. This year, the League received $4.3 million in city funding to support its 150th Anniversary Capital Renovation Project, the single largest award the project has received to date. 💪 “Culture is a pillar of our city’s economy and a critical part of healthy, safe, thriving communities. No other city in America supports its cultural institutions like we do through DCLA’s capital program, partnering with institutions on construction, renovation, and equipment projects to deliver remarkable cultural facilities that are open and accessible to all. Under the Adams administration, we’ve made record-setting investments in our cultural sector, and this year is no different.” – Cultural Affairs Commissioner Laurie Cumbo Read more about the new funding and the League's exciting project in the Observer: https://lnkd.in/e77Eas_d

The lack of funding to marked increase is giving me whiplash but I’m happy to see it!
