WHO WE ARE
The New York City Arts Coalition is a membership network of arts professionals and arts supporters organized for education, advocacy and public policy development in the nonprofit arts field. Membership is open to all not-for-profit arts groups, arts professionals and individual supporters of the arts.

WHO WE REPRESENT
We represent over 200 not-for-profit arts organizations. Members include major museums, alternative spaces, presenting organizations, service groups, borough arts councils, performing arts groups, and members of the public. The activities of the Coalition are governed by a steering committee of representatives from our member organizations.

OUR PURPOSE
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 and feeling, reveal who we are and who we might be. The availability of government funds ensures the creation and exhibition of all forms of art, independent of market trends.
