yale art gallery rejects federal grants for africa migration show citing new anti diversity stipulations

The Yale University Art Gallery has withdrawn two federal grant applications totaling $200,000 for an upcoming exhibition on the migration of Nguni peoples from southeastern Africa, scheduled to open in fall 2026. The museum rejected new anti-DEI stipulations attached to grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which require applicants to certify they do not operate programs promoting diversity, equity, or inclusion that violate federal anti-discrimination laws. The gallery will instead use its endowment to fund the show, marking the second time it has forfeited NEA grants under similar circumstances.

Yale Art Gallery Withdraws Federal Grant Requests After Trump DEI Ban

The Yale University Art Gallery has withdrawn two federal grant requests totaling $200,000 for a forthcoming exhibition on Southeast African art, citing concerns that the show does not meet the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) criteria under President Trump's executive order banning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. The museum will instead use its endowment to fund the exhibition, which focuses on the migration of the Nguni peoples in southern Africa and is set to open next fall. Additionally, the NEA cancelled a $30,000 grant for another exhibition, Nusantara: Six Centuries of Indonesian Textiles, prompting the museum to draw on its Robert Lehman Endowment Fund.
