""New York City already provides dramatically more funding for artists and arts organizations than the federal government does. So it's a critical time to step up to provide some additional resources to fill in the gaps and to hold on to our values.""
As New York City approaches its mayoral primary, Comptroller Brad Lander launched a comprehensive arts and culture platform aimed at revitalizing support for the city's creative community. His proposal includes a cultural prescription program to integrate art into healthcare, increased funding for individual artists, and the creation of a deputy mayor position for Arts and Cultural Life. Amid significant federal funding cuts to arts, Lander emphasizes the need for local support, especially for marginalized communities, positioning himself as a champion for a vibrant arts scene in the city.
