Mayor of New York City Bill de Blasio announced a new program last week, dedicated to giving artists the ability to work during the Covid-19 restrictions. The new “Open Culture” program will be a way for performers and artists to secure a permit and hold a live gathering outside.
In a video announcement, interpretive dancers can be seen performing in cold weather outside while the mayor says, “We need a recovery that brings back the life and the heart and the energy of this city and that everyone gets to be a part of. If we’re going to do that, if we’re going to really bring back the heart and soul of New York City, we need our arts and culture back and we need people to see it and feel it, to participate in it, to know that that essence of New York City has not been defeated by the coronavirus, but will come back strong in 2021.”
