In this role, Mr. Oss\u00e9 intends to fast-track the safe revival of New York\u2019s cultural scene, especially the small businesses in the service industry that have suffered during the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic fallout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee oversees&nbsp;<em>New York City\u2019s Art Commission, museums, branch libraries, the New York City Commission for the United Nations, the Consular Corps and Protocol, the Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Mayor\u2019s Office of Special Projects and Community Events, as well as local efforts to promote the City\u2019s community harmony, cultural legacy, and international exchange<\/em>, according to the Council\u2019s official description.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be chairing this committee. I have spent my life immersed in the New York culture scene. My father was an attorney in the music industry; my mother combines art and culture every day at her bakery, and I have worked many nightlife jobs in nightlife before running for office.,\u201d Mr. Oss\u00e9 says. \u201cBeyond being an area of personal significance to me, our cultural strength is what makes New York stand out on the global stage. The 36th District is a vibrant cultural hub and home to countless actors, artists, musicians, and some of the best restaurants in the City. I look forward to working with my colleagues to revive and advance our arts and culture scene.\u201d About his other committee assignments, he continues, \u201cthese are the reasons I ran for office in the first place: clean streets, dignified NYCHA, standing up for working families. I\u2019m proud to take on these roles and ready to get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><em>Council member Chi Oss\u00e9 will chair the Committee on Cultural Affairs,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Libraries, and International Intergroup Relations.
