NEW YORK, NY (May 9th, 2025) "We are thrilled to see a historic $45 million baseline increase for arts and culture in the Fiscal 2026 Executive Budget. We thank Mayor Adams, Deputy Mayor Adolfo Carrión, and Commissioner Cumbo, as well as Speaker Adams and the City Council, for their steadfast support of the arts. Arts and culture are the heart and soul of New York City. It is evident today that the City stands firmly with culture— this funding will bolster the resilience of not just our cultural community, but all of New York. We look forward to working with the Administration and City Council to secure an additional $30 million increase in the Adopted Budget to ensure the continued growth and vitality of our sector!"
