Adequate funding for the NEA

The National Arts Foundation is an independent agency funded by the federal government to support many artists throughout the United States. Since its establishment in 1965, it has awarded artists awards and has brought benefits to thousands of individuals and communities. It has had a great influence on the development and protection of dance, design, folk art, traditional art, literature, media art, museum, music, opera, theater, and visual arts (arts.gov). Over the years NEA has awarded more than $ 4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity and innovation.

When some years ago the New York Times called Kickstarter "the People's NEA", we thought we were somehow against NEA - a potential alternative to Federal funded art. It is totally different. Kickstarter is a mission-oriented nonprofit organization for artists to live a sustainable life. It means that the diversity of fund sources is more likely to be created by creators. In our view of the future, NEA in the world is better

President Trump 's two previous budget proposals have proposed reducing all funds from the National Art Foundation. By supporting the ongoing funds of NEA you will become a guardian of American art, how will you protect art after that? Do you think to increase the Federal Arts Fund of NEA to 1 dollar per US dollar so that community nonprofit arts groups across the country can provide more convenient art projects for all Americans? The definition of each Student Success Act (ESSA) in 2015 includes art as part of comprehensive education, but according to the report of 2011, American art education: What does the reduction of art participation mean? Are they their white counterparts. How do you solve this problem?
