The NEA: Challenges and Cultural Impact
This chapter explores the historical significance and current challenges faced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), particularly in light of new restrictive guidelines related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. It discusses the implications of these changes on arts funding and the critical need for cultural institutions to resist political pressures while maintaining their values. The conversation underscores the importance of the NEA's role in supporting artistic expression in the U.S. and the potential consequences of diminished support in the global cultural landscape.
