About us
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), established in Congress in 1965, is an independent federal agency that is the largest funder of the arts and arts education in communities nationwide and a catalyst of public and private support for the arts. By advancing equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice, the NEA fosters and sustains an environment in which the arts benefit everyone in the United States. The NEA’s primary activities include grantmaking to nonprofit arts organizations, public arts agencies and organizations, colleges and universities, federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, and individual writers and translators. Grant applications are reviewed by panels of arts experts and individuals from across the country. All grants must be matched one-to-one by nonfederal sources, except for individual grants to writers and translators. NEA funding is appropriated by Congress annually. While the NEA’s primary activity includes grantmaking, it also is a national leader in the field and a convener on issues important to the arts community and people working at the intersections of arts and other fields such as health, community development, and education, among others. The NEA is an important resource for research on the value and the importance of the arts, and shares that information with stakeholders and the public.

“I saw an opportunity to bring people together by forming a choir open to anyone, regardless of musical background, and focusing on shared experiences rather than individual talent.” On the blog, we spoke with Harmony Project's Creative Director and Founder David Brown about the development of the Being Human project, Harmony Project’s impact on people of all backgrounds, and the power of music in strengthening communities!

In the summer of 2024, the NEA theater team held a series of listening sessions with leaders from the nonprofit theater field to shed light on the shared and unique hardships of re-opening venues and attracting audiences nationwide. Now, those conversations have been distilled and analyzed in a new NEA report, "Defying Gravity: Conversations with Leaders from Nonprofit Theater." On the blog, NEA theater director Greg Reiner offers some highlights and reflections from the report. https://lnkd.in/ejgBjXm3

"I think the care that we take in our daily lives—where we put our attention, whether it’s with the people we spend our energy on, what we take in, what we surround ourselves with, and the questions we ask about our world and our place in it are all part of living an artful life." Head to the blog to read the Artful Life Questionnaire with NEA Dance Director Sara Nash!
