New Art opportunities with Mayor-Elect Bill De Blasio Government reform?


Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet
DanceNYC Executive Director Lane Harwell writes in HuffPost Arts & Culture about opportunities for the Arts in Mayor-Elect Bill DeBlasio's One New York. He touches on affordable housing, Arts education, reliable transportation and a framework for sustainability as a city.
Thoughts on the future of Art & Culture in New York? (I know, such a general statement). 
Do you think Art reform correlates to De Blasio's vision for government transparency and encouraging New Yorkers to develop community based priorities?

  1. Anything he does with respect to the Arts and affordable housing will be better than what his predecessor did. But let's be honest, a lot of these things come from the State. All those incentives and tax breaks are Cuomo's responsibility. For me, it all starts with affordable housing. If middle class people (teachers) can't afford to live here what does it all matter. As for the Arts, well, these things have been passed along to the private world. He needs an Arts czar (and not a Russian one!) but someone who can figure out a clever way bring the city, state, and private money together. Okay, that's all I have.
