The Art Museum of the Americas canceled two significant exhibitions planned for this year, which were to showcase Black and queer artists. The decision is linked to executive orders from the Trump administration that target diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, reflecting a broader push against DEI programs across federally supported institutions. One exhibition, 'Before the Americas', was particularly notable for its focus on underrepresented artists but lost government funding, with the curator expressing frustration at the abrupt termination of the projects.
The Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, D.C. has canceled two major exhibitions focusing on Black and queer artists, citing executive orders from President Trump.
Curator Cheryl D. Edwards revealed that the Trump administration classified the exhibitions as 'DEI programs,' leading to the withdrawal of federal funding.
