The Trump administration's cancellation of National Endowment for the Arts grants affects many arts and cultural organizations across the country, particularly smaller entities. One notable example is WP Theater, which faced a $50,000 loss crucial to its operation. While larger organizations like Lincoln Center may absorb the cuts, smaller groups rely heavily on NEA funding. The administration's shift in funding priorities has serious implications for diverse voices in the arts, particularly those of women and nonbinary artists, as emphasized by WP Theater's leadership.
"Without WP Theater, then those voices go away. In this cultural moment, we are being told our work shouldn't exist."
"WP exists because those voices weren't getting opportunities elsewhere."
