The New York City Arts Coalition promotes a broad awareness of the arts in the life of the city. It encourages leaders and elected officials to protect the creative freedom of the arts community and to support adequate appropriations for the arts in the city, state and federal budgets.

We believe that public funding for the arts is essential to the growth, diversity, and freedom of our communities. Works of art show us new ways of seeing ourselves and the world around us. Art reveals who we are and who we might be. Art feeds our souls and our minds.

The availability of public funds increases access for everyone and ensures the creation and exhibition of all forms of art, independent of market trends.
