Promotion of the Arts – Media Arts: Film/Radio/Television

The National Endowment for the Arts has not awarded grants under the Promotion of the Arts—Media Arts: Film/Radio/Television program (CFDA 45.006) since January 1996, more than thirty years ago. This program is inactive and should not be pursued.

The portfolio consists of five Project Grants totaling $43 thousand in combined federal dollars obligated, distributed across awards made between October 1991 and January 1996. Recent grant awards have not been disbursed. The program funded film and video production, screenings, and festivals, as evidenced by awards supporting a Native American film festival ($22 thousand), a documentary about American and Vietnamese women affected by the Vietnam War ($17.5 thousand), a regional media arts fellowship program in New England ($3.3 thousand), and the 1992 Atlanta Third World Film Festival ($13). One award for a series on Asian cultural traditions was obligated at zero dollars. All awards were structured as Project Grants, with individual magnitudes ranging from thirteen dollars to $22 thousand. The National Endowment for the Arts was the sole funder across all five awards.

No recent grant opportunities under this Assistance Listing are currently open or have been posted. The substantial gap between the most recent award (January 1996) and the present date indicates the program is not actively soliciting applications. Organizations evaluating this program should confirm current status with the National Endowment for the Arts before committing business development resources.
