The article discusses the significant impact of the Trump administration's recent decision to revoke federal grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, affecting many Bay Area arts and cultural organizations. Leaders like Rick Noguchi from California Humanities express concern over the long-term ramifications for community projects and the broader implications for democracy and cultural heritage. With California Humanities depending heavily on NEH funding, the cuts will lead to diminished operations and lost opportunities for public engagement and learning within the arts sector.
"Unfortunately, our loss is also going to be their loss," said California Humanities CEO Rick Noguchi. He says the organization plans to rely on savings until it runs out; likely in about a year.
"Humanities in California and across the country really need to be supported at this time," said Noguchi, "It's really critical for our democracy."
