New York City’s First-Ever Cultural Plan Will Tie Funding To Greater Diversity In Cultural Institutions

“The city has been funding the arts since the 19th century, but until now City Hall has never embarked on a comprehensive review of where all that money goes and what it does. The result of that effort is a 180-page report … called ‘CREATENYC: A Cultural Plan for All New Yorkers,’ which aims to reorient the city’s cultural life toward neglected corners of the five boroughs by bringing the arts to previously ignored neighborhoods and pushing some of the jewels in the city’s cultural crown to make a greater effort towards getting residents of those neighborhoods through their doors.”
