""Regardless of available resources, these spaces are critical stewards of arts, culture, and archives among marginalized and minority populations across the region.""
""As Robert Lee, executive director at the Asian American Arts Centre, stated for the report about representation as the institution opened in 1974, 'it was not done; we were invisible; it was up to us to establish the presence and cultural significance.'""
A report by Museum Hue reveals that over a third of museums and cultural centers led by people of color in the Northeastern states lack full-time staff. Many operate on limited budgets, with 67% of smaller institutions reporting no full-time employees. These organizations play a vital role in preserving and sharing the histories and cultures of marginalized communities. Despite financial challenges, 91% of these institutions focus on underrepresented demographics, emphasizing the importance of sharing untold stories.
