Challenge 10:

Cultural Support. Arts and culture organizations are critical community assets in Buffalo Niagara. They provide neighborhood services and spaces of belonging for children and adults, drive economic and tourism activity, and create a vibrant quality of life. The arts and culture sector, however – especially small and medium organizations and those serving people of color – has been severely under-funded. Smaller and “frontline” groups in particular need transparent, equitable, and sustainable government funding. In addition, local governments should support Buffalo Niagara’s cultural history by moving quickly to preserve landmark architecture and by valuing Native American historical sites and culture.
