The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) has issued a plea for support of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), which are in danger of being defunded by the current administration. Academics, such as historians, art historians, and archaeologists, often depend upon funding from the NEA and the NEH for their research and projects.
"The Arts and Humanities are a vital part of our cultural identity and enhance the quality of our lives. They connect us to the past, they speak to us in the present, and they are our legacy, our gift to the future. Investing in them is never a waste, and we strongly urge that both the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities continue to receive federal funding." http://www.arce.org
If you would like to show your support for the continued funding of the NEA and the NEH, please follow this link and sign the petition, "Preserve the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities":
