Rally for Culture and the Arts

Join arts and culture organizations at a rally for Culture and the Arts at City Hall, co-organized by New Yorkers for Culture and Arts and the Cultural Institutions Group to further show your support and represent the diversity of our sector.

There are currently hearings on the Mayor’s executive budget proposal before the City Council. The proposed $112 billion FY25 total city budget would partially reverse some cuts, but would reduce funding for parks, food emergency programs, and libraries. Additionally, while the $22 million restoration of funding over the next three years to the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) is a win for the sector, it is only a partial restoration of the January cuts to culture as smaller organizations have not received any reversal of FY24 cuts.
