HueArts & Cultures: Northeast Report

Read the release of HueArts & Cultures: Northeast, a landmark report and initiative elevating museums and cultural institutions founded and led by Black, Indigenous, Latino/e/x, Asian, Middle Eastern, and all People of Color across the Northeastern region of the United States. This recent Hyperallergic article highlights some of the findings.  

The launch comes at a particularly meaningful moment. Last week’s proposed FY27 Budget of the US Government once again called for the elimination of federal agencies, including the IMLS and NEA, that support arts and culture nationwide.

Museum Hue recently joined more than 300 colleagues from across the country for AAM’s Museums Advocacy Day, where we visited Congressional offices to advocate for policies sustaining museums as essential civic and cultural infrastructure. That experience, even alongside another devastating federal budget proposal, reinforces what we know deeply: museums of color are not peripheral to the field—they are foundational to it. 

Developed in partnership with Yancey Consulting and Slover Linett at NORC—and made possible by grants from the IMLS, Mellon Foundation, and NEA—HueArts & Cultures: Northeast documents the cultural impact, operational realities, and future aspirations of museums and other cultural entities of color across Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, DC.
