What do Hamilton, Sundance Film Festival, and Vietnam Veterans Memorial have in common?

These world-renowned and celebrated artistic endeavors would not exist if not for the initial support from the National Endowment for the Arts!

The NEA is an independent federal agency that works to give people across America the opportunity to participate in and experience the arts.The NEA funds artistic events, concerts, performances, exhibitions and readings, and also awards grants for research on the impact and value of the arts in the United States. While these amazing and disparate groups have all received funding through the NEA, the future of the agency is uncertain; the arts are under attack.
