NEFA has been a significant cultural force since 1975, when it was created as one of six regional arts agencies nationwide, funded primarily through the National Endowment for the Arts and New England state arts agencies. Today's NEFA has evolved considerably from the original regional model, and now operates with an annual budget of $5 million to develop and manage arts initiatives on local, regional, national and international levels. Through extensive funding, advocacy, and networking efforts, NEFA promotes the creation and distribution of the full range of artistic expression.

From Wall Street to Mulberry, from the Battery to the Bowery, from the East River to the Hudson, the Council enlivens the arts downtown. Workspace places artists in studios just blocks from Wall Street, changing what it means to “work” in the Financial District.
