Response to NEA Cancellation.

May 4, 2025 – Yesterday, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced the cancellation of current and proposed grants, following a devastating proposed federal budget from the executive office. This move is more than just a budget cut, it’s a blow to the heart of our cultural life. The loss of these grants will inflict real and lasting harm on arts organizations across the country, many of which are already struggling.

But this isn’t just about funding. It’s a clear signal: an attempt to silence the voices of artists and to strip away the idea that art belongs to all of us, that it is a shared, public good at the core of our democracy. We cannot stay quiet. We must raise our voices, write, call, and rally. We must remind our elected officials, whom we chose to represent us, that the arts matter. That the NEA matters. If we allow the Endowment to be dismantled, we lose more than money. We lose a vital symbol of who we are and who we aspire to be. Artists work every day to bind this diverse nation together, to help us see each other, to help us understand. The real work of art is the work of making us whole. This is about more than grants. This is about democracy. About unity. We must not let it go without a fight.

TAKE ACTION: Stand up for the arts.

Over the weekend, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) cut funding to hundreds of vital cultural organizations across the country—including The Public Theater. These cuts threaten the health of our democracy as well as jobs, creativity, and equitable access to the arts.

Many have been in touch to ask, “What do we do next?” Here’s how you can help:

If you care about the arts, call your elected officials and demand they fight to restore NEA funding. Encourage and empower your friends and family in other districts to call their representatives as well. We know this action is recommended all the time, but that’s because it is straightforward and simple! These calls really do make a difference.

Chime in! Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is collecting stories of those impacted by recent federal action.

If you are an affected arts organization and have the resources, please consider the NEA appeal process. File an appeal by Friday, May 9 and draw down any allowable funds by the Saturday, May 31 deadline.
