"CIG was established in 1869 with the American Museum of Natural History. Its institutions operate in city-owned buildings and receive financial support from the city, including for capital investment. A number of the city's museums are part of the program, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA PS1, the Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Queens Museum."
"The five new members, with representation for each of the city's five boroughs, were chosen after "rigorous analysis of [their] operations, visitorship, and other factors completed by DCLA in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget," according to a press release. In a statement, Laurie Cumbo, the commissioner of cultural affairs, said that these additions give the city "a once-in-a-generation opportunity to foster greater equity in this important source of city support for the arts in all five boroughs.""
New York City's Cultural Institutions Group added five nonprofits: the Bronx Children's Museum, the Louis Armstrong House Museum, the Noble Maritime Collection, Pregones / Puerto Rican Traveling Theater (PRTT), and BRIC. The additions increase CIG membership to 39 and provide the organizations with annual operating subsidies instead of only prior annual support and an energy subsidy from the Department of Cultural Affairs' Cultural Development Fund. CIG, established in 1869, supports institutions that operate in city-owned buildings and receives city financial and capital investment. The five new members represent each of the five boroughs and were chosen following rigorous analysis of operations, visitorship, and related factors in consultation with the Office of Management and Budget.
