ACTION ALERT: CONTACT YOUR SENATORS House Passes Economic Stimulus Package; Arts Funding Intact On Wednesday, January 28, the House of Representatives passed the economic stimulus legislation with provisions intact allocating $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. All Republican House members, plus 11 Democrats, voted against the measure. If approved, 40% of the NEA funds will support the initiatives of state arts agencies, and the remainder will be distributed in direct grants to fund arts projects that preserve jobs in the nonprofit arts sector.
