Cultural groups across U.S. told that federal humanities grants are terminated

In March 2025, the University of South Alabama presented its Annual Songwriter Keynote, a conversation and concert event funded, in part, by a grant from the Alabama Humanities Alliance. Gulf Coast artist Robby Amonett, pictured above, live-painted the event.

Among the thousands of groups affected by the sudden cessation of funds are state arts councils, museums, historic sites, archives, libraries, educators and media outlets in all 50 states.
