nea funding cuts

President Donald Trump has proposed eliminating the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and arts organizations across the U.S. are already feeling the impact. After a White House budget request in May that excluded the NEA, dozens of institutions received abrupt termination notices for their grant applications, with the NEA citing a shift in policy priorities to focus on projects reflecting the nation's artistic heritage as prioritized by the President. In protest, many senior NEA staff resigned or were asked to retire, leaving the agency in disarray. The cuts are part of broader federal efforts to defund cultural agencies, including the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which has seen a 70-80 percent staff reduction and canceled over a thousand grants. Private foundations like the Mellon Foundation and the Helen Frankenthaler and Andy Warhol Foundations have launched emergency funding programs, but the consequences for artists, educators, and community organizations are immediate and destabilizing.

Min ha Park: ‘I think about creating situations where things don’t immediately explain themselves’

Min ha Park, a Korean artist born in Seoul in 1984, is featured as part of this year's Korean Artists Today project, which selects emerging Korean artists with global potential. Park began her artistic journey as a form of teenage rebellion against classical music training, moving to New York in 2002 to study at the School of Visual Arts. After a residency at Woodstock through the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in 2008, she shifted to painting as her primary practice, later earning an MFA from Yale University in 2011. Her luminous, abstract works capture ephemeral natural phenomena like light through fog or rain, using materials such as spray paint, wax, and oil to create layered, unresolved visual experiences. She has recently expanded into performance, collaborating with choreographer Yanghee Lee on a piece titled Shimmering.
