NEA (National Endowment for the Arts)

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is a U.S. government agency established in 1965 to promote and support the arts across the nation. It provides funding and grants to artists, cultural organizations, and community arts projects, making art accessible to all Americans. The NEA aims to foster creativity, enhance community engagement, and preserve the nation’s cultural heritage. By funding a variety of art forms—including visual arts, music, theater, and literature—the NEA plays a vital role in enriching American cultural life and encouraging public participation in the arts.
