The Brooklyn Art Song Society announced the end of its National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant, attributing this decision to political pressures from the Trump administration. The organization's Artistic Director, Michael Brofman, expressed concern regarding the government's view of art as a political weapon and emphasized the society's commitment to continue their work despite setbacks. The NEA is facing significant changes with all ten grant directors leaving, coinciding with budget proposals that threaten various arts agencies.
"It is deeply troubling that our government sees the connective fabric of art as a political tool," Artistic Director Michael Brofman said.
All ten directors who oversee grants at NEA are leaving the agency, according to The Washington Post.
