“The arts are essential to our identity as New Yorkers, embodying our spirit of innovation as they drive economy, build community and enhance education. From the millions who visit our museums, theaters, concert halls, public artworks and festivals to each individual student whose world is broadened in the classroom, our state’s creative culture enriches our lives.”

— Mara Manus, Executive Director, New York State Council on the Arts
