The Culture and Arts Policy Institute is an organization that addresses critical systemic challenges in New York’s Culture and Arts sector.
These include sustainable cultural governance, equitable funding, and collaborative data practices.
Our programs emphasize data-driven research, strategic capacity building, and a commitment to open government principles: transparency, accountability, and participation.
The institute serves as an observatory that provides policy and funding recommendations for public and private institutions and facilitates exchange and dialogue within and across sectors.
