Artblogs - Art Blogs:   Abolish the NEA Andrew Wielawski (April 7, 2006) 
Sacrilege. Abolish the largest, most powerful organization for the arts in the United States of America. How could Senator Jesse Helms ever have dared to voice such an opinion? As artists, we must hold hands and stage candle lit vigils to preserve what is surely thought of by many to be our best means of cultural salvation.
Only it isn't. If you've ever written a letter to the NEA, as I have, then you will recognize the form letter response that you will receive, unless you've offered to donate money, as a non-answer, as an insult to your integrity as a vital and important contributor to the culture of our nation. So if they don't support artists like you and me, who do they support, and why does their name contain the word 'endowment'?
'Endowment' in the sense they use it, means that they spend money to accomplish their mission. While their guidelines specifically forbid them from making contributions to individual artists, they also explain that a big part of their mission is to increase the public's awareness of the arts, and make it accessible; this is mostly what they supposedly spend their money on.
