关于我们
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), established in Congress in 1965, is an independent federal agency that is the largest funder of the arts and arts education in communities nationwide and a catalyst of public and private support for the arts. By advancing equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice, the NEA fosters and sustains an environment in which the arts benefit everyone in the United States. The NEA’s primary activities include grantmaking to nonprofit arts organizations, public arts agencies and organizations, colleges and universities, federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, and individual writers and translators. Grant applications are reviewed by panels of arts experts and individuals from across the country. All grants must be matched one-to-one by nonfederal sources, except for individual grants to writers and translators. NEA funding is appropriated by Congress annually. While the NEA’s primary activity includes grantmaking, it also is a national leader in the field and a convener on issues important to the arts community and people working at the intersections of arts and other fields such as health, community development, and education, among others. The NEA is an important resource for research on the value and the importance of the arts, and shares that information with stakeholders and the public.

Every October, National Arts and Humanities Month provides us the opportunity to celebrate the profound importance of arts and humanities in shaping our lives, communities, and country. The arts and humanities help us tell our stories on our terms and make sense of the world. They offer us nuanced understanding, different ways of thinking, and open new sources of inspiration and innovation. Critically, the arts protect and advance our humanity, allowing us to embrace our commonalities and recognize our meaningful differences with respectful curiosity. Arts and culture make the space and provide a language to capture the complexities of our American story more fully and embolden us to stand in the space of possibility – imagining a more hopeful and just future. The integration of the arts in every facet of our lives and society is vital to ensuring that we not only imagine but also create a more equitable and just future for all. At the National Endowment for the Arts, we are committed to deepening our collaboration across the federal government and with state, regional, and local organizations; supporting research into the effects of the arts on health, education, public safety, and more; and bolstering arts ecosystems that foster opportunities for arts participation and engagement to help all people lead artful lives and thrive. Throughout October, the NEA will be celebrating National Arts and Humanities month on arts.gov and all its social media platforms. I hope you will join us in recognizing and celebrating all that the arts and humanities contribute to us as individuals and a society. — NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD
