Our NEA Grant Was Terminated — A Statement from Orpheus Orpheus has received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts regularly for almost 50 years. This support has been utilized for impactful performances and community engagement across the nation. With the recent termination of our NEA grant, and the grants of excellent arts institutions around the country, we reaffirm that the arts are not a luxury for a select few, but a necessity for everyone. Orpheus remains steadfast in our programming and stand in solidarity with other artistic entities who remain committed to their missions. -- With the loss of federal funding, your gift is crucial for sustaining programs that reflect Orpheus’s democratic spirit, like our newly launched Orpheus For All: https://orpheusnyc.org/tickets-and-concerts/orpheus-for-all-at-carnegie-hall Thank you for your support! https://orpheusnyc.org/donate -- From our friends at League of American Orchestras "It is essential that elected officials hear from their constituents about the value of federal funding for the arts. During recent previous efforts to eliminate or reduce NEA funding, bipartisan support from Congress has prevailed, and that support needs immediate reinforcement." https://americanorchestras.org/learn/advocate/contact-congress-today (fb)
