A new program, CUNY Arts, will vastly expand opportunities for CUNY J-School students and other ID holders to connect with the arts in New York City.
The initiative has multiple components:
- Many of the city’s most prestigious cultural venues will provide free admission or suggested admission prices to CUNY students, faculty and staff
- Academic courses at CUNY campuses will be augmented through wider access to performances and cultural exhibitions, and to the individuals who make those events happen
- New degree and certificate programs will be designed to provide CUNY students with skills and education that match the employment needs of the cultural institutions
- Cultural organizations will provide dozens of paid internships to CUNY students, thereby creating job and career opportunities
