Trump Administration’s Termination Of Arts Grants Hammers Film Festivals Nationwide: “We’re Sounding The Alarm Bell”

The Trump administration's cancellations of National Endowment for the Arts grants is hammering film festivals nationwide.

Deadline

Along with devastating cuts to numerous govt agencies and relief programs, it should come as no surprise that #DJT admin's ugly cuts to #NEA grants were coming. The severance of support to #arts charities and non profit agencies were made official last week, ending previous grant$ from the #NationalEndowment for the Arts and longstanding annual committments are effectively canceled, almost immediately.

The grant cancellations are particularly dire for arts organizations for which NEA funding may constitute the bulk of a project's budget.

In #SFBayArea , the cut$ include support for the #LGBTQ centric #Frameline #FilmFestival, #SFJAZZ, #Berkeley Rep, Women’s Audio Mission, #American Conservatory #Theater, #TheLab, San Francisco International #Arts #Festival and many many more worthy recipients. Most of these iconic and dedicated organizations will of course be able to continue their track record of creativity and community service, but will be seeking more fiscal signs of support from local sources than ever before and encourage patrons to get personally connected.
