TESTIMONY “A painstaking study of the plight of fiscally sponsored dance artists in New York, this report also presents innovative and collaborative plans to alleviate their burdens—principally the dearth of affordable rehearsal space and the absence of a living wage. Bravo, Dance/NYC!” Dr. Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, Chair, New York State Council on the Arts
“Increasingly, artists understand that you no longer have to incorporate as a nonprofit to succeed. This report’s recommendations will help modernize the arts sector, ensure that it responds to the needs of this growing segment of artists operating with limited infrastructure and meager budgets, and advance a more supportive and equitable environment where dance artists can afford to live and work in New York.” Kerry McCarthy, Program Director, Thriving Communities, The New York Community Trust
