Standing United: Protecting America’s Arts and Cultural Future

As a leading advocate for the arts, Americans for the Arts is deeply concerned by the current Administration’s efforts to politicize and reduce essential federal support for the arts. The dismantling of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which has placed staff on administrative leave, along with significant cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)—including a directive to reduce staff by 70% and to cancel current and future grants—marks a severe attack on our cultural infrastructure.
