National Endowment for Arts Announces Second Round of Grants for FY 2023

$103 Million to Organizations in All States and Jurisdictions

Washington, DC—The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is pleased to announce more than $103 million in recommended grants in the second major grant announcement of fiscal year 2023. Organizations in all 50 states and U.S. jurisdictions will carry out arts projects in three NEA funding categories: Grants for Arts Projects, Our Town, and State and Regional Partnerships.

“The National Endowment for the Arts is pleased to support a wide range of projects, demonstrating the many ways the arts enrich our lives and contribute to healthy and thriving communities,” said NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD. “These organizations play an important role in advancing the creative vitality of our nation and helping to ensure that all people can benefit from arts, culture, and design.”

In Illinois, 49 organizations will receive more than $2,500,000 in funding. CAPE is pleased to be a recipient of a $50,000 award. This will support CAPE’s Collaboration Laboratory in which ten Chicago Public Schools will participate in professional development, collaborate with teaching artists, and develop long-term plans for arts integration in their schools.  600 students will be served with the project.
