US EditionAlabama nonprofit art studio that celebrates the autism community hit by Trump cuts to NEA
- Alabama nonprofit arts organizations and others nationwide faced funding cuts in 2025 after President Trump reduced grants from federal agencies like the NEA and IMLS.
- These cuts resulted from the administration's shift in priorities and allegations that agencies such as the NEA and NEH were promoting a woke agenda undermining traditional values.
- Among those impacted are Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum & Library, which halted a digital catalog project after losing nearly $250,000 in funding from the IMLS, and a nonprofit that runs a summer music camp for children who stutter, currently facing a $35,000 funding gap.
- Russell Krumnow, the association director, explained that the reduction in funding creates challenges in maintaining their commitments, while arts leaders caution that relying solely on private donations is not viable long-term due to donor fatigue.
- These changes threaten the longstanding multiplier effect of federal arts funding, which has supported careers, jobs, and local economies since the NEA and NEH were founded 60 years ago during the Great Society.

But at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), and other institutions across the country, a quiet revolution is taking place, one edit at a time. PAMM’s Wikimedian in Residence Michaela Blanc has spent the last two years helping the museum’s digital team use Wikipedia to spotlight the work of und…
Poetess Marie Howe, one of the Pulitzer Prize winners this year, claims that being a writer is often less a career than a vocation. We rely on teaching and other external work and seek support from foundations or a government agency, such as the National Arts Fund of the United States (NEA). “Everyone is applying for an NEA scholarship, year after year, and if you get it, it’s like wow — it’s huge,” said Howe, Pulitzer’s winner for “New and Sele…
