The city’s 34 Cultural Institutions Groups — organizations including The Brooklyn Museum, BAM, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and more — depend on funding from the department of cultural affairs. It is a department that is facing drastic cuts in Mayor Eric Adams’ proposed budget for the coming fiscal year, which, if approved, could be devastating to many of them. On the podcast today, Adrian Benepe — the former NYC parks commissioner and current president of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden — joins us to discuss the implications of the Adams budget, his work at the garden, his youth spent in Central Park, and his dealings, as parks commissioner, with a certain Donald Trump.
