Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced over $3.2 million in grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to arts organizations and institutions in his congressional district in New York City.  These federal grants support artistic projects across all stages of development, from the incipient imagination through the final presentation.

“I am very proud that the 10^th congressional district of New York is home to some of the finest and most dynamic artists and arts organizations in the nation,” said Nadler.  “I am pleased to help support these creators and visionaries who contribute so much to New York’s – and the nation’s – cultural life.  These grants will strengthen our urban community and reinforce New York City’s status as a truly vital and enriching place to live and work.”
