Sample testimony
New York State Senator Jose Serrano is accepting written statements from the public, arts and culture organizations and institutions, highlighting the important contributions of the artistic and cultural community to New York’s economic and cultural landscape, and sharing how they have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Statements received will be posted on the New York State Senate website and compiled into a report on the impact of COVID-19 on the arts and culture in New York City. We hope the report will lead to policy recommendations that will ensure the arts and culture remain at the forefront of New York’s economic recovery.
