DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.  WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.  

New Yorkers for Culture & Arts (NY4CA) and SVA Theatre invite you to a culture and arts Candidates Forum, focusing on the upcoming selection of a new City Council Speaker. The event will help to underscore the Speaker’s role in prioritizing and advancing legislation and public policy in our City.
The Forum will include discussion of the sector’s impact on the city’s economy and educational system, its value to community identity, livability, and development, and its importance to cutting-edge science and conservation efforts. Through this Forum, NY4CA will build on the past success of One Percent for Culture’s 2013 Mayoral Forum and the many candidate breakfasts by the NYC Arts Coalition during its 30 years as an arts advocacy organization.
NY4CA believes that a stronger and more sustained advocacy effort from a greater cross-section of the culture and arts sector is critical to the sector’s future health and growth. We seek to broaden participation in this year’s Forum by building a diverse roster of partners.
Free and open to the public.  Seating is first-come, first-served.  Doors Open at 6:15PM.
MODERATOR:  Juan Manuel Bení­tez, Journalist, Anchor, Reporter, NY1 News
