Tom Finkelpearl is an American arts promoter and former museum director who serves as commissioner of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.[1] He was appointed in 2014 by New York City mayor Bill de Blasio.[1] As commissioner, he oversees city funding of nonprofit arts organizations, and is leading an effort to promote cultural diversity in arts programs citywide.[2][6] His department is in charge of a $156 million budget.[1] His approach to arts has been described as populist[8] and he sees art and artists as making a valuable contribution to the overall economic health of the city.[3] In July 2017, Mayor de Blasio and Commissioner Finkelpearl announced the launch of CreateNYC, a 10-year cultural plan to increase access to arts and culture programming in all five boroughs and help make New York's cultural institutions more reflective of the city’s multiethnic, multicultural population.[4] He is working with city authorities on efforts to provide affordable housing for artists living in the city.[5] He said "every corner of this city needs to have art."[6] He introduced a program to offer free access to member institutions using a municipal identification card.[7] Finkelpearl served for 12 years as director of the Queens Museum from 2002 to 2014.[2] While serving as director, he hired community organizers to emphasize the diversity of the immigrant population.[1] He presided over the museum's $68 million renovation effort.[8] He doubled the size of the Queens Museum and saw its budget grow from $2.3 million to $4.9 million.[9] He served under mayor David Dinkins and Rudy Giuliani by running the city's Percent for Art program.[9] He graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts in 1974, from Princeton University in 1979 and from Hunter College (MFA) in 1983.
