Trump Administration’s Termination Of Arts Grants Hammers Film Festivals Nationwide: “We’re Sounding The Alarm Bell”
The nonprofit behind the prestigious True/False documentary festival in Columbia, Mo got its notice by email last Friday night: your National Endowment for the Arts grant has been terminated.
Hours after President Trump announced his intention to eliminate the Nea, grant recipients began receiving word that their funding was being yanked: dance programs, literary festivals, regional theater groups, youth writing workshops, rural arts initiatives, music education programs, museums across the 50 states. Film festivals nationwide, like True/False, are taking a direct hit.
“We were already in a little bit of a tight situation” budget-wise, says Andrea Luque Káram, executive director of Ragtag Film Society, which puts on True/False. Their grant was for $30,000. “It’s just forcing us to really pivot… There’s so many organizations that are impacted by this.”
