Über uns
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), established in Congress in 1965, is an independent federal agency that is the largest funder of the arts and arts education in communities nationwide and a catalyst of public and private support for the arts. By advancing equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice, the NEA fosters and sustains an environment in which the arts benefit everyone in the United States. The NEA’s primary activities include grantmaking to nonprofit arts organizations, public arts agencies and organizations, colleges and universities, federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, and individual writers and translators. Grant applications are reviewed by panels of arts experts and individuals from across the country. All grants must be matched one-to-one by nonfederal sources, except for individual grants to writers and translators. NEA funding is appropriated by Congress annually. While the NEA’s primary activity includes grantmaking, it also is a national leader in the field and a convener on issues important to the arts community and people working at the intersections of arts and other fields such as health, community development, and education, among others. The NEA is an important resource for research on the value and the importance of the arts, and shares that information with stakeholders and the public.

“At the end of the day, we’re all humans. I think about...a moment where we’re in now where there’s like more division than ever. What I love about theater is that yes, you can...actually empathize with other people who are not you. That is what empathy is. It doesn’t have to be like ‘That’s my experience and that’s the only thing I understand.’ It’s what it means to be alive. We are all alive people. We all like want to be together. We’re social. If you prick me, do I not bleed? All those things and so, I think that’s why I love theater. It can do that." —Michael R. Jackson Listen to our Art Works podcast conversation with Michael R. Jackson at arts.gov/podcasts. This Notable Quotable was brought to you in honor of a new season of the Musical Theater Songwriting Challenge!
