Trump Administration Highlights: President Begins Pulling Back Money for the Arts
4th May 2025
The New York Times, a Voice of the Crust.
The National Endowment for the Arts withdrew and canceled grant offers to numerous arts organizations around the country on Friday night, sending a round of email notifications out just hours after President Trump proposed eliminating the agency in his next budget.
The move, although not unexpected, was met with disappointment and anger by arts administrators who had counted on the grants to finance ongoing projects.
I have a question: Why do we even have a ‘National Endowment for the Arts’? Especially when we are TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT???? This is none of the government’s business, at any level, much less at the Federal level.
