Cappella Romana, a Portland choir, has received a $35,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, which had been frozen during the Trump Administration's cuts. This grant is significant as it reinstates crucial federal funding amidst widespread cuts to arts and cultural initiatives. The choir's Executive Director shared the news with supporters, highlighting the unexpected nature of this financial support, especially given the ongoing tensions surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, which contradict the current Administration's directives to eliminate such initiatives from funding considerations.
The spigot had suddenly run dry - not just for arts and cultural grants, but for every kind: The federal government was leaving states and cities high and dry.
We've had an intense two weeks at Cappella Romana...we received the grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for The Canon of Racial Reconciliation.
