The Inequality in US Arts Funding
The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has published a report that spotlights arts funding. Quote:
"… the majority of arts funding supports large organizations with budgets greater than $5 million. Such organizations, which comprise less than 2 percent of the universe of arts and cultural nonprofits, receive more than half of the sector’s total revenue. These institutions focus primarily on Western European art forms, and their programs serve audiences that are predominantly white and upper income. Only 10 percent of grant dollars made with a primary or secondary purpose of supporting the arts explicitly benefit underserved communities, including lower-income populations, communities of color and other disadvantaged groups. And less than 4 perfect focus on advancing social justice goals."
Shocker.

Museum Bows to Pressure and Cancels Palestinian Children's Art Show
If you are afraid of children's art then you have my pity because life in the world must be truly intolerable and you probably see enemies everywhere. But the Museum of Children's Art should have stood up for this show.
