Artists have been looking for economic stimulus during this economic downturn, and Chicago arts organizations received part of the $50 million that the NEA got as part of the stimulus package. A recent survey co-sponsored by the Ford Foundation and the NEA found that the current recession has been difficult for artists and arts organizations. Artists and arts organizations should be eligible for more funding, during this rough economic time.
Currently an exhibition entitled 1934: A New Deal for Artists is at the Smithsonian Institution, which provides an historical perspective to how the federal government proactively took initiative during the Great Depression.
