The City of New York, through its Department of Cultural Affairs (“DCLA”), and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) are seeking responses to a Request for Expressions of Interest (the “RFEI”) from interested parties (“Respondents”) to operate an Immigrant Research and Performing Arts Center (“IRPAC”) as a part of the Inwood NYC Neighborhood Planning Initiative (“Inwood NYC”). Inwood NYC is a comprehensive plan to ensure that Inwood remains an affordable, attractive neighborhood for working and immigrant families. One of the priorities identified through this collaborative process was a need for IRPAC as a cultural center to support the artists and cultural organizations of Northern Manhattan.
