Access to Artistic Excellence (NEA)

Access to Artistic Excellence encourages and supports artistic creativity, preserves our diverse cultural heritage, and makes the arts more widely available in communities throughout the country. Particularly relevant at this time are projects that demonstrate innovation by generating new forms of art making, new directions in the field, and/or innovative uses of creative resources. This category supports projects that provide short-term arts exposure or arts appreciation for children and youth as well as intergenerational education projects.
