NYC: CULTURAL CAPITAL

Episode 5 in the Culture and the City podcast series finds our host Dr Tim Williams in conversation with Andrew Burmeister, Assistant Commissioner for Capital Projects in New York City’s Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA). DCLA is the largest municipal funder of culture in the United States and is “committed to providing access to art and culture for all New Yorkers”. It supports world famous cultural assets which attract visitors from across the globe. In this discussion, Andrew talks engagingly and insightfully about the strategy behind the investments in cultural infrastructure, and also of the delights and challenges of his work before, during and in the wake of the pandemic. We love New York and the cultural institutions that are core to its brand. This podcast provides special insights into the work which Andrew and his department undertake, ensuring that New York’s cultural institutions thrive.&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
