To support arts programs services and activities associated with carrying out the agencys national endowment for the arts-approved strategic plan

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has awarded a $1,049,900 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) to the Nebraska Arts Council. This two-year grant, valid from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025, will support arts programs, services, and activities that advance the NEA's national strategic plan within Nebraska.

The Nebraska Arts Council, a division of the Nebraska Library Commission, will utilize this funding to deliver community arts programming across the state. Key initiatives include developing partnerships with regional arts organizations to expand access to the arts, as well as executing programs that strategically engage Nebraskans with arts experiences. As the state-level conduit for the NEA's mission, the Nebraska Arts Council will leverage this grant to provide arts-focused services and activities that align with the NEA's approved strategic priorities.
