But don’t be mistaken; artists are not just essential during times of crisis, but all the time. Creatives Rebuild New York is a three-year initiative that will provide guaranteed income and employment opportunities for 2,700 New York artists. How can we affirm the crucial role and cultural significance of artists in our society?
