A BTS look at our $13 million accessibility & renovation project 👇🏽 “ It’s being completed around the building’s current tenants, artists-in-residence, who will be temporarily displaced during key stages of construction” — @trdny today. This legislation would slash that timeline.

[NYC Cultural Affairs @NYCulture]

Our cultural community needs Albany legislators to pass bills that expand NYC’s capacity to build better -- quickly, efficiently, and inclusively.

Let’s get alternative delivery (A10543) and public hearing (A8864A) so we can #BuildBetterNYC!! @NYCDDC

[The Clemente @the_clemente]

The Clemente serves our communities & with aging buildings we can't afford to find existing conditions found after design that delay our reopening for years. We need the right team on board up front & the right tool for every project to #BuildBetterNYC!

I wrote about everything that culture means to our city, and the opportunity this administration must seize to meaningfully fund it.

A wonderful profile of our community at @theclemente and its history and legacy of artistic pluralism. Excited for an even more inclusive and accessible home for New York’s cultural workers to create new work and what’s to come!

[NYC Cultural Affairs @NYCulture]

This weekend, we joined @the_clemente to mark their #ThreeKingsDay 👑 celebration AND to break ground on a nearly $13 million renovation project that will make the building fully ADA compliant. This transformative project is proudly funded by @NYCulture and managed by @NYCDDC.

Want to see a puppet show? I can pull a few strings. #puppetfringenyc is coming back after 2 years, this time, better, stronger, and maybe shedding a few puppet-tears! We can't wait!

[The Clemente @the_clemente]

There are still tix left to seeing Las Mariquitas, NYC’s only queer & trans salsa group, in the Flamboyan Theater Friday. Catch the exhibition AMIGX RADICALES while you’re at it, which explores Latinx Queer forms of collaborative work in contemporary art.

The Latinx Arts Consortium of NY (LxNY) thanks @NYCMayor for his timely & insightful decision to exempt arts & culture from the PEG plan to eliminate the gap in the FY24 budget. This move recognizes the value of this sector to the economy &to the overall welfare of NYC residents.

[The Clemente @the_clemente]

Last Friday we celebrated our community & the trailblazers that continue to inspire the work we champion, and got to catch @ritaindiana premiere of Tu Nombre Verdadero ✨

We raised more than $20,000 to keep The Clemente thriving. Gracias por tu apoyo, y pa’lante!

Over the last two decades, Rita Indiana has transformed into one of the Caribbean’s foremost cultural agitators. Her new performance explores the “weight that an artist’s name has when they die,” writes @jabladoraaa. https://t.co/4C5G35saLZ
