See what our families and
partners have to say!

"My family and I are grateful to be part of the Cool Culture family. Since 2012, Cool Culture has provided us, a young couple with limited means, the opportunity to explore incredible places like the Manhattan Children's Museum and Central Park Zoo with both of our sons, creating lasting memories. This program makes it possible for low-income families like ours to experience NYC’s cultural treasures, and we are truly thankful!."
Cool Culture Parent
"Cool Culture is a critically important program because it actively targets a specific audience that is underserved by many of our cultural institutions. Their programs create real experiences that meet families where they are, celebrate their communities and culture, and diversify the audiences in cultural institutions in this city and the country."
Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator, The Studio Museum in Harlem
