The Trump administration’s assault on free speech and the arts continues.
Hundreds of arts organizations across the country received notice on Friday that the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) would rescind grants to artistic organizations that did not align with the administration’s cultural priorities. According to an email sent to grantees, some of those priorities include:
 “Projects that elevate the Nation’s HBCUs and Hispanic Serving Institutions, celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence,…
Participating in the Brick’s ?! New Works Festival back in 2021 was a small but ultimately life-changing opportunity for me an artist.
It’s the kind of scrappy project that ends up creating a litany of opportunities, for people to meet one another, artists to get really good documentation for applications, and it’s also just a great time.
Grant applications are so time consuming, so tedious, and I really hope Congress undoes this foolish move.
