NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS AWARDS $88 MILLION IN GRANTS

National Endowment for the Arts chairman Rocco Landesman has announced the latest round of NEA funding for Fiscal Year 2011, which totals more than $88 million. There will be 1,145 grants for not-for-profit national, regional, state, and local organizations nationwide.

Landesman said, “NEA research shows that three out of four Americans participate in the arts. The diverse, innovative, and exceptional projects funded in this round will ensure that Americans around the country continue to have the opportunity to experience and participate in the arts.”

This round of funding is provided through four grant programs: Access to Artistic Excellence, Learning in the Arts for Children and Youth, Arts on Radio and Television, and Partnership Agreements (State and Regional).
