A new report shows how hard POC arts organizations in New York must fight for funding just to stay afloat:

Just 35 percent of the 41 entities surveyed for the report have an annual operating budget over $1 million. While that figure might speak to the relatively modest scope of Hue’s data set, it also reveals something about the intractable challenges of being a POC-led arts group in New York today. It’s not as if more money isn’t a goal for these organizations; more often than not, they say, it’s a question of resources and visibility.
