SeatGeek partners with Bloomberg Philanthropies to enhance New York City's arts

Bloomberg Philanthropies is partnering with SeatGeek, a New York based tech start-up and ticket search engine, to help people enhance their New York cultural arts experience. The Discover New York Arts (DNyA) pilot project utilizes  SeatGeek's search technology to help promote live shows and events from over 30 New York City arts organizations. Here's what Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City and philanthropist said about the partnership, “Our arts program at Bloomberg Philanthropies is driven by a deep commitment to enabling art to be a driving force in enriching communities and providing economic opportunity. This collaboration takes our programs a step further, offering a significant business partnership for our grantees with a leading New York tech company.” You can read the full story at prweb.com SeatGeek Partners with Bloomberg Philanthropies to Unlock New York City’s Great, Undiscovered Arts Experiences
