Future Front’s $65,000 ArtsHERE grant award was rescinded by the National Endowment for the Arts on May 5, 2025. We will no longer receive these promised funds, alongside countless other prestigious and award-winning arts and culture organizations across Texas and America, due to unprecedented executive orders. This news comes at a difficult time for Austin’s arts and culture landscape. With the City of Austin’s cultural funding ecosystem now also under review and delayed, you may read this and immediately wonder what’s next. We are not going anywhere. If you can support our work during this loss, please become a member or contribute an annual donation at futurefronttexas.org/donate (link in bio). Find meaningful and measurable ways to include arts organizations, artists, makers, cultural workers, filmmakers, musicians, curators, creative producers, designers and community-builders alike in your personal, professional and philanthropic budgets now, too. Community will always keep local art and creativity alive and well. We’re proud to be a part of this one. For more resources and notes on these changes, head to futurefronttexas.org/blog. (fb)
