Earlier this month, the Department of Government Efficiency ended operational funding for the country’s 56 humanities organizations -- including Nevada Humanities.

Every year, Nevada Humanities awards hundreds of thousands in grants to local artists, arts organizations, nonprofits, and other groups for their work for the greater community. Now, future grant money may be endangered, and the state's cultural institutions and creatives may see even less money for their work.

So what can be done in response to these cuts?


Guests: Christina Barr, executive director, Nevada Humanities; Bruce Isaacson, poet and founder, Poetry Promise.
