The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), established in 1965 to promote arts engagement, is threatened by proposed budget cuts from President Trump targeting federal cultural funding. Following the latest budget proposal, several arts organizations have received cancellations for NEA grants, indicating a shift in priorities towards projects celebrating the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence and supporting historically Black colleges. This is not the first attempt to eliminate the NEA, as past bipartisan efforts have successfully preserved it. This budget plan also threatens the National Endowment for the Humanities and other cultural institutions.
The NEA, the largest funder of arts in the U.S., is again threatened as Trump proposes major budget cuts aimed at reducing federal expenditures in cultural institutions.
This proposal comes as part of broader efforts by the Trump Administration to slash the federal budget, including significant cuts to education and cultural funding.
