The National Endowment for the Humanities is inviting U.S. artists to apply for a project called the National Garden of American Heroes, which will place 250 life-size statues of various historical figures. These figures include a mix of iconic personalities like George Washington and Martin Luther King Jr., alongside modern figures such as Kobe Bryant and Alex Trebek. The project has a substantial budget sourced from cancelled NEH grants and aims to be completed by July 2026 in time for the U.S. semiquincentennial. Despite its ambitious goals, the initiative faces significant public disapproval regarding the president's cultural agenda.
The National Endowment for the Humanities has announced a call for artists to create a statue park honoring historical figures, backed by a $200 million budget.
Participants must be U.S. citizens and submit an explanation of delinquent federal debt alongside their applications for funding to create statues for the park.
