National Endowment for the Arts (NEA)是美国联邦政府下一个专门挑选据有潜力的艺术项目并给予他们基金的规划。任何美国国内非商业化的艺术家都可以申请并获得最高达20万美元的补助。
2012年,NEA将对艺术家的申请要求做出一些更改:原本的“电视与收音机艺术”项被改成了“媒体艺术”项;现在游戏“艺术家”也可以申请这份补助了。
以下是引用自官方原文:
Projects may include high profile multi-part or single television and radio programs (documentaries and dramatic narratives); media created for theatrical release; performance programs; artistic segments for use within an existing series; multi-part webisodes; installations; and interactive games. Short films, five minutes and under, will be considered in packages of three or more.
