Today, maybe more than any time in recent memory, the arts are taking center stage because of potential cuts to funding throughout the country, including Nevada.
From 2017 to 2022, the National Endowment for the Arts granted $11.5 million to the arts in Nevada. The NEA estimates those grants helped add $11 billion to the state economy through arts and cultural production.
How will any of this affect Nevada?
If you’re in the arts, what are you expecting? How are you preparing? If you’re an arts supporter, do you feel compelled to give more? Are you, perhaps, afraid to give to art that the Trump Administration might consider “anti-American”?
Or, if you support cuts to the arts, call or email and tell us why.
This is our one-hour open mic show. Email son@knpr.org with your thoughts.
