National Endowment for the Arts

The President’s  current budget proposal eliminates funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. NEA has said that is “business as usual” until the proposed budget is finalized. 

Cuyahoga Arts & Culture has received a NEA grant to bring arts and culture to Public Square in Summer 2017, and that grant remains unchanged. We encourage you to learn more and submit ideas until March 29 at www.cacgrants.org/square.
 
If you currently receive funding from the NEA, connect with your program officer and assess what, if any, impact the President’s proposal will have on your current grant. Learn more about NEA’s work
