The Kunstagentur ends dozens of grants after Trump suggests to remove NEA | Trump Administration

Dozens of US art organizations have been informed that offers from government grants ended for hours after Donald Trump proposed to remove federal authorities, support the arts, humanities and learning.

The cancellation of scholarship offers was reported by organizations in the USA, including an offer of 25,000 US dollars for a playhouse in Portland, Oregon, hours before the opening of a new production, August Wilsons Joe Turner's come and gone.

On Friday, Trump suggested several learning and art-oriented agencies, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Institute for Museum and Library Services as part of the administration of the administration of the administration of the administration.

The federal authorities were listed under “Eliminations of the small agency” and their cancellations. The document was “in accordance with the efforts of the President to reduce the size of the federal government to improve the accountability, reduce waste and reduce unnecessary state companies”.

The proposed eliminations are carried out after both the NEH and the NEA in line with previous guidelines for reducing the federal employees and to limit diversity, equity and inclusion programs (DEI) in order to reduce the costs.

In an e -e -mail that was sent to Arts organization administrators late Friday, the NEA said its priorities on scholarship policy to concentrate the financing on projects that “reflect the rich artistic heritage and the creativity of the country, as priorified by the president”. NPR reported that the e -mail was sent by a generic “art.gov “ade.

The e -mail also means that numerous US media reports at the Foundation would prefer projects that “increase” the historically black universities and universities and colleges that serve Hispanic students.

It also said that it would also focus on projects that celebrate: “Celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, promote AI competence, authorization of worships, to help communities, to help the recovery of disasters, to promote foster jobs, to help America to support the military and veterans, support tribes.”

However, numerous media reports showed that the cuts in projects that aimed at color communities would be discussed.

The proposed budget also includes cuts to support public broadcasters and meet the efforts of the President in his first term to see that the support of the state support of the arts and humanities eliminates the foundation.

Democratic politicians and artificial unions said that the cuts were catastrophic for public access to creative expression.

“The NEA is essential for our livelihood and our democracy,” the American Federation of Musicians, which is posted via X.

The suggestions provoked a sharp reaction from the Democrats.

The Senator of Rhode Island, Jack Reed, Schwor, fight against the plan to remove NEA's “tooth and nail”. The representative of Maine, Chellie Pingree, told the New York Times that Trump “has a broad attack on the arts.

The support from NEA subsidies applies to smaller art organizations of crucial importance and uses an approval seal to attract support from private organizations or donors. Last year, the NEA had already reduced and announced financing with a budget of USD 207 million and only accepted grants that would not be used to promote “diversity, justice and inclusion” or “gender -specific ideology”.

Brian Weaver, the artistic director of Portland Playhouse, told the New York Times that the loss of his scholarship is “ridiculous”.

“It is strange that the Trump administration trumpets its priorities to serve diverse America and at the same time to cancel grants for our game in August Wilson,” said Weaver and referred to the black author of the play.

Other organizations that said that they received similar evidence of cancellations are the Repertory Theater from Yale in Connecticut. Indianapolis' writing group, The New Harmony Project; The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco; And the civilians, a theater company based in New York.

Kate Fowler, director of Studio Two Three, a community arts space in Richmond, Virginia, said that the organizations' $ 30,000 was canceled.

“Absolutely angry,” wrote Fowler on Instagram. “The long -sleeved strategy to separate nationwide is not accidental. These are the places where communities gather, dream and program. We build up to change at community level.”
