Currency of Culture

Everyone knows that New York is the city that never sleeps. From theatre shows and museums to some of the best cuisine in the world, you can do just about anything in this big city.  But how do all of these establishments run?

The Currency of Culture examines the business behind the NYC’s rich culture.  Whether it’s funding, day of operations or changes in the market, we keep our finger on the pulse of the arts and culture scene around us.
