Cultural Equity and Diversity Meeting

The Steering Committee of the Cultural Equity Group (CEG) would like to extend an invitation to you to join us for our Cultural Equity and Diversity Meeting scheduled for April 21, 2015 at the Riverside Theater to discuss the New York City Cultural Plan and to introduce the CEG’s Cultural Reinvestment Fund.

The meeting will include presentations by Tom Finkelpearl (Commissioner, Department of Cultural Affairs) and Council Member Steven Levin (co-author of the Cultural Plan) as well as key Funders (Kerry McCarthy, New York Community Trust) engaged in equity and diversity strategies. CEG representatives will discuss the value of cultural arts and the impact of the Plan and the proposed Cultural Reinvestment Fund on diverse organizations.

In an effort to put forth a Cultural Plan for NYC that is truly representative and inclusive, as well as supporting individual artists in essential ways, this will be a critical discussion of the historical and important role diversity plays in our communities’ viability.
