The NYC Arts in Education Roundtable, along with artists, educators, students, cultural workers, and parents will gather to advocate for city leaders to address the cost-of-living crisis and stability for arts education workforce.
Join us in advocating for the heartbeat of our city: a future where every student has access to arts education and every arts education worker can afford to call New York City home.
Our voices are stronger together! Help us call on the Mayor and City Council to support the stability of teaching artists and NYC’s cultural workforce in this year’s budget.
Looking for other ways to take action? Sign our open letter and bring visibility to the impact of the city’s contracting process on arts education delivery and teaching artist compensation.
