Yesterday, the National Endowment for the Arts released its annual list of grantees. A total of 1,126 American museums, arts funds, foundations, alternative spaces, and institutions will receive funding from the NEA this year. The grants add up to $27.7 million.
“These projects, from all over the nation, will make a difference in their communities,” Jane Chu, the chairwoman of the NEA, said in a statement. “We know from experience as well as through hard evidence that the arts matter and these projects will provide more opportunities for people to learn, create, and experience the value of the arts in so many different ways.”
