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

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) awarded a $1,054,900 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Arts Partnership Agreements program (CFDA 45.025) to the Nebraska Arts Council. This two-year grant, effective from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026, will support arts programs, services, and activities that align with the NEA's national strategic plan. The Nebraska Arts Council, as the state arts agency for Nebraska, will utilize this funding to deliver community arts programming across the state, including developing partnerships with regional arts organizations to expand arts access and executing initiatives that strategically engage Nebraskans with arts experiences. This grant represents one of several prime awards the Nebraska Arts Council has received from the NEA's Partnership Agreements program since FY2019 to carry out the agency's mission at the state level.
