Raising $10K will allow us to support the growing network of artist activists that have been part of NY4CA’s Artist Advocates in Residence program! This flagship program provides a monthly stipend to support artists engaged in advocacy and justice work within their communities. The popular and groundbreaking program has supported artists working in areas as wide ranging as arts worker wages, Black artists maternal mental health, disability arts justice, challenging harmful stereotypes in cultural work, and much more. We are now expanding the program with regular gatherings and engagements to strengthen the network of amazing artivists who have come through the residency. Learn more about the work that our Artist Advocates are doing all over our city here.

New Yorkers for Culture & Arts (NY4CA) serves a coalition of artists, culture workers, and a range of arts organizations from small-budget entities to large-scale cultural institutions. We work together to strengthen public policy and increase equitable and sustained support for culture.

Supporting NY4CA means supporting a future where every New Yorker can engage in culture and where every neighborhood can thrive by having equitable access to resources. Join us in making this vision a reality by supporting our work. We can't do it without you!

This is a critical time in the history of our city. The work of NY4CA is urgently needed to connect, serve, and sustain our cultural community through these times. And to let our elected leaders know that now is not the time to cut culture.
