Alliance for the Arts Launches 'Give the Gift of Culture'

This holiday season, New York City's cultural institutions are coming together again for the Alliance for the Arts' annual Give the Gift of Culture Campaign, a unique opportunity for New Yorkers and out-of-towners alike to give a one-of-a-kind gift of the arts at a discounted price.

Beginning today through mid-January, the Alliance's Web sites, NYC-ARTS.org and NYCkidsARTS.org, will feature a collection of significant discounts and incentives pertaining to memberships, subscriptions, tickets and gift shops at museums, theaters, performance venues and other cultural institutions city wide. Visitors to the Web sites and New York's cultural institutions are encouraged to think about sharing their love of the arts when giving gifts this holiday season.

The Give the Gift of Culture collection is available in the "Things to Do" sections of the Web sites at www.NYC-ARTS.org/collections and www.NYCkidsARTS.org/collections.

This year's campaign features gift-giving ideas such as memberships to cultural gems around the city such as Film Forum, Coney Island USA, Flushing Town Hall, International Center of Photography, Thalia Spanish Theatre, Irondale Ensemble Project, Museum of American Finance, and gift cards and gift shop items from Repertorio Español, New Victory Theatre, Rebecca Kelly Ballet, Queens Botanical Garden and others.

Underwritten by the City of New York and produced by people rooted in the arts community, the Alliance's Web sites, NYC-ARTS.org and NYCkidsARTS.org, serve as a one-stop compendium of information on cultural institutions and their events for city residents, tourists, parents and teachers.
