The Endowment's Mission Created by Congress with the passage of the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, NEH provides grants to individuals and institutions for projects in the humanities. These include research and educational opportunities for college professors, independent scholars and elementary and secondary school teachers, the writing and publication of scholarly texts, translations of important works in the humanities, museum exhibitions, television and radio programs and a variety of other programs to make the humanities accessible to the general public. Other activities include special projects undertaken at the direction of Congress, such as a study of humanities education in elementary and secondary schools that resulted in the NEH report, American Memory, published in 1987 and a study of the state of the humanities in the nation, Humanities in America, released in September 1988. In October 1989, the Endowment released 50 Hours, a report that urges colleges and universities to strengthen requirements so that undergraduates study essential areas of knowledge. What Are the Humanities? "Humanities," as defined in the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, include the study of history; philosophy; languages linguistics; literature; archaeology; jurisprudence; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; ethics; comparative religion; and those aspects of the social sciences that employ historical or philosophical approaches. How the Endowment Is Administered The Endowment is directed by a Chairman, who is appointed by the President and approved by the U.S. Senate for a term of four years. Advising the Chairman is a National Council of 26 distinguished private citizens, also presidentially appointed, who each serve six-year terms. The current NEH Chairman is Lynne V. Cheney, who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate and sworn in on May 23, 1986. Competition and the Review Process The Endowment awards grants on a competitive basis. In the most recent fiscal year, NEH funded approximately one out of every four applications received. Funding decisions are made on the basis of the application's merit and the significance of the project. - OVER - NEH Facts January 1990 Page 2 Competition and the Review Process (continued) Each application is assessed by knowledgeable persons outside the Endowment who are asked for their judgments about the quality of the proposed projects. Nearly 1,000 scholars and professionals in the humanities serve on approximately 150 panels throughout the course of a year. The judgment of panelists is often supplemented by individual reviews solicited from specialists who have extensive knowledge of an application's subject area. The advice of the panels and outside reviewers is assembled by the Endowment staff, who comment on matters of fact or policy or significant issues that would otherwise be missing from the review. These materials are then presented to the National Council on the Humanities, which meets four times a year to advise the Chairman about the funding of applications. The Chairman takes the National Council's advice into consideration and makes the final decision on each grant. The Endowment1s Programs The Endowment awards grants through five divisions — Education Programs, Fellowships and Seminars, General Programs, Research Programs and State Programs -- and two offices, the Office of Challenge Grants and the Office of Preservation. From its creation through the end of Fiscal Year 1989, the Endowment awarded $1.97 billion for more than 41,000 fellowships and grants. Some of these grants have required one-to-one matching funds from private-sector donors and have been matched by more than $227 million in non-federal contributions. Grants made by the NEH Challenge Grants Program, requiring $3 or $4 in matching funds for each federal dollar, have generated more than $1 billion in federal and non-federal support for America's libraries, colleges, museums and other eligible humanities institutions since the program began in 1977. For Fiscal Year 1990, the Endowment's budget is $156.9 million in program and operating funds. Jefferson Lecture and Charles Frankel Prize In 1972 the Endowment established the Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities, the highest honor the federal government bestows for distinguished intellectual and public achievement in the humanities. The 20th Jefferson Lecture will be delivered in Washington, D.C., on May 2, 1990, by Bernard Lewis, a scholar of Middle Eastern history. In 1988 the NEH established the Charles Frankel Prize to recognize up to five persons a year for outstanding contributions to the public's understanding of the humanities. The 1989 winners of the Charles Frankel Prize were Patricia Bates, Daniel Boorstin, Willard Boyd, Clay Jenkinson and Americo Paredes. # # # National Endowment 1100 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. for the Humanities Washington, D.C. 20506 A Federal Agency 202/786-0449 NEH-90-002-N Contact: Office Home Karen Myers 202/786-0449 301/595-9783 John McGrath 202/786-0449 703/525-9478 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HUMANITIES ENDOWMENT ANNOUNCES $3.7 MILLION IN GRANTS TO PENNSYLVANIA 24 Awards Will Support Public Programs and Scholarship in the Humanities WASHINGTON, Jan. 22 — The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced a total of $3.7 million in grants to 12 institutions and four individuals in Pennsylvania.

    FREE ART AND POLITICS: A SMALL HISTORY OF ART FOR SOCIAL CHANGE SINCE 1945 PDF Claudia Mesch | 224 pages | 15 Oct 2013 | I.B.Tauris & Co Ltd | 9781848851108 | English | London, United Kingdom 15 Influential Political Art Pieces | Widewalls What is political art? Is it different than the art itself and could it be the art beside the politics, as we know the political truth is the ruling mechanism over all aspects of humanity? From its beginnings, art is inseparable from the societies and throughout its history authors always reflected the present moment bringing the artistic truth to the general public. For Plato and Aristotle, mimesis - the act of artistic creation is inseparable from the notion of real world, in which art represents or rather disputes the various models of beauty, truth, and the good within the societal reality. Hence, position of the art sphere is semi- autonomous, as it is independent field of creation freed from the rules, function and norms, but on the other hand, art world is deeply connected and dependent from artistic productionways of curating and display as well as socio-economical conditions and political context. In times of big political changes, many art and cultural workers choose to reflect the context within their artistic practices and consequently to create politically and socially engaged art. Art could be connected to politics in many different ways, and the field of politically engaged art is rather broad and rich than a homogenous term reducible to political propaganda. There are many strategies to reach the state of political engagement in art and it includes the wide scale of artistic interventions from bare gestures to complex conceptual pieces with direct political engagement intended to factual political changes.

  • The Surprising Tale of One of Frank Stella's Black Paintings
    The Surprising Tale of One of Frank Stellaʼs Black Paintings - The New York Times 2/18/19, 1509 The Surprising Tale of One of Frank Stella’s Black Paintings By Ted Loos Feb. 17, 2019 At 82, the artist Frank Stella has done it all and isn’t terribly concerned what anyone thinks. He is matter-of-fact and unguarded, secure on his perch in the pantheon after two solo retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art. He can — and did — wear white house-slippers to an interview and photo shoot. Deal with it. Mr. Stella became art-famous not long after graduating from Princeton in 1958, and he has been lauded for achievements like his early Black Paintings, with their dazzling geometric rigor and their power to inspire statements like his “What you see is what you see.” His work evolved over the decades — the brightly colored Protractor series became a landmark of contemporary art, too, and eventually his work got sculptural and very big. His studio is now in the Hudson Valley, where he goes often to make pieces that require a lot of space, like “adjoeman” (2004), a stainless steel and carbon fiber sculpture weighing some 3,000 pounds that was once featured on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But he and his wife, Harriet McGurk, a pediatrician, live in the same three-story house in Greenwich Village that he acquired in the late 1960s. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/17/arts/design/frank-stella-black-p…=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=5&pgtype=sectionfront Page 1 of 13 The Surprising Tale of One of Frank Stellaʼs Black Paintings - The New York Times 2/18/19, 1509 It’s packed with art — there are many large, midcentury abstractions by friends, peers and those he admired when he started, including Jules Olitski, Hans Hoffman and Kenneth Noland.
