Alliance for the Arts
Organization based in New York City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alliance for the Arts was a New York City organization that served the cultural community through research and advocacy.[1] The alliance published information on the art and cultural events in New York City as well as studies highlighting the importance of the arts to the economy and to education.[2]
In November 2008, The Alliance for the Arts relaunched the NYC Arts Network and the Arts Research Center, a research database for quantitative information on arts and culture in New York City.
In 2010, WNET and the Municipal Art Society absorbed the work of Alliance for the Arts.[3]
Initiatives
