New York City officials on May 6 announced the $25 million
City Artists Corps, which will create jobs for 1,500 artists and is inspired by
the Works Progress Administration effort that characterized Franklin Delano
Roosevelt’s New Deal administration during the Great Depression. The city’s
arts and recreation sector were hard hit by the crushing Covid-19 pandemic,
sustaining a 60% drop in employment across the industry last year, from around
87,000 total jobs in Feb. 2020 to around 34,100 jobs in April 2020, according
to a recent report from state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s office.
“Art and artists make New York City the
cultural capital of the world, and the artistic community has an essential role
in building a recovery for all of us,” said New York mayor Bill de Blasio in
statement. “The City Artist Corps will tap into our greatest resource—New
Yorkers’ boundless creativity—to create jobs and make our city more beautiful
and vibrant than ever.”

“A recovery for all
has to include culture, which is such an important part of healthy, vibrant
neighborhoods,” said NYC cultural affairs commissioner Gonzalo Casales in
a statement. “Building on efforts to lift up all residents and spur New
York’s recovery, the City Artist Corps will bring public spaces to life in all
five boroughs and make sure the Summer of New York City is a Summer of
Art.”
