Synopsis

This study critically examines the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), analyzing its evolution, objectives, and grant allocations. Author Jerry Henderson investigates how the federal government, through the NEA, influences cultural policy and potentially maintains cultural hegemony. The research explores whether the NEA's structure limits broader arts community participation and if certain cultural institutions receive disproportionately low support.
