** CULTURAL FREEDOM DEMANDS
COLLECTIVE COURAGE:
A NATION-WIDE STATEMENT OF VALUES AND PRINCIPLES FOR THE FIELD OF ARTS AND CULTURE
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Today, The National Coalition Against Censorship ([link removed]) (NCAC) and the Vera List Center for Art and Politics ([link removed]) (VLC) announce Cultural Freedom Demands Collective Courage: A Nation-Wide Statement of Values and Principles for the Field of Arts and Culture ([link removed]) (The Statement), a months-long collective mobilization initiative in the face of more than $27 million in NEA grant terminations ([link removed]) as well as increasingly urgent concern that social and governmental pressures are leading to preemptive institutional compliance with government interests, and that artistic and intellectual freedom in the United States is currently under serious threat.
Amid increasing threats to artistic and intellectual freedom in the United States, the Statement reasserts the arts sector’s commitment to retain programmatic independence and resist pressures of institutional self-censorship, which is the only way to ensure that future generations inherit robust cultural institutions that stimulate the imagination, engender free thinking, and incubate new futures.
Upon its publication, the Statement has more than 275 individual signatories working across the art and culture sector, as well as over 150 cultural institutions.
