The San Francisco Bay Area is widely known as a hotbed of creativity and artistic expression. For this reason, local organizations and individuals generally receive a great deal of private and public funding to support the wide array of innovative programs throughout the region.
Introduction
Despite recent budget constraints, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) remains at the forefront of efforts to fund the arts throughout America. This year, the NEA will be providing grants to a number of Bay Area programs and facilities to support a range of initiatives in 2014.
