The Neighbors To Receive $10k Grant From The National Endowment For The Arts

What Will the Neighbors Say?, lef by James Clements and Sam Hood Adrain, is pleased to announce it has been approved by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to receive a Grants for Arts Projects award of $10k. This grant will support their production of "TRACES" in March 2023 at CUNY Queens College. This grant is one of 1,251 Grants for Arts Projects awards totalling nearly $28.8 million that were announced by the NEA as part of its first round of fiscal year 2023 grants.

"The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support arts projects in communities nationwide," said NEA Chair Maria Rosario Jackson, PhD. "Projects such as this one with the Neighbors strengthen arts and cultural ecosystems, provide equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice and contribute to the health of our communities and our economy."

"This project began development back in 2020, and so our Spring production represents the culmination of three years of amazing collaboration, connections and community with our new Neighborhood in Queens," added Co-Artistic Director James Clements. It is the Neighbors second award from the NEA, having previously been recognized in 2021.
