YAC has received notice that the NEH grant supporting the creation of the Humanities Hub has been terminated. The termination is a result of changes in federal funding priorities and is not related to any actions by YAC. This new space would have been home to our Arts Incubator, a year-round space to promote community and economic development through the Arts.

The Board and Staff are evaluating how to move forward with this project. We have contacted our Senators and filed an appeal with the NEH as we believe creating a community education space aligns with the new Federal funding priorities.

The NEH grant is one of three that have been cancelled by the Federal Government mid-project. YAC has already expended funds in planning events, hiring performers, and marketing.

While we explore the options - we ask for your continued support of the Arts Council.
