Show Notes
One year post-federal arts funding cuts, Portlands theaters, museums, and dance groups grapple with the loss of NEA support, leading to emergency fundraisers, staff cuts, and a shift towards nationalistic themes in new applications. Oregon Humanities faces a forty percent budget cut, resulting in layoffs and canceled programs. Groups rely on private donors, state aid, and foundations to survive, with hopes of restored funding through lawsuits, but fears of Portlands creative scene fading without steady public support.
