New York City’s world leading arts sector plays a critical role in the city’s life, enriching its spirit, creating sustainable communities by impacting social wellbeing and cohesion, serving as economic engine, and attracting emerging and established artists, as well as art lovers, from around the world. The Foundation funds a broad variety of professional performing arts organizations, as well as a limited number of visual arts groups. Its primary criteria are excellence and innovation.
The Core Fund Arts Program supports a wide range of organizations, from small groups devoted to the work of a single artist to larger producing entities and museums, as well as groups providing the infrastructure to sustain the creative life, which is the focus of the project-based Rosin Fund Arts Program.
