Helping City Arts Groups Survive in Tough Times



A $100,000 Trust grant to the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council provides artists, like the one below, with free studio space on Governors Island and elsewhere.

Even for the City’s most die-hard cultural consumer, there are too many must-see performances, exhibits, and genre-defying offerings to experience in one lifetime. It’s a great problem to have—as an audience member. But the City’s arts organizations need much more than applause to stay afloat. Struggling arts groups need help with marketing, management, and finances from agencies that understand their predicament and can offer useful assistance.

Arts service groups—such as borough arts councils—provide this help, but are being pushed to capacity as demand for their services intensifies. The following grants will help them meet this demand:
