Americans for the Arts: “House Increases NEA Funding by $2 Million”

Americans for the Arts reports that on Tuesday, May 15, 2018, the U.S. House Interior Subcommittee “advanced legislation” to fund the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) by an increase of $2 million.

We are happy to report that under the leadership of Chairman Ken Calvert (R-CA) and Ranking Member Betty McCollum (D-MN), the Subcommittee allocated increases of $2 million to both the NEA and the NEH, bringing their budgets up to $155 million each for FY 2019. Thanks to your impactful grassroots advocacy work, this is the same appropriation level that we requested on Arts Advocacy Day this past March. ~Arts Action Fund blog, May 15, 2018
