Welcome to National Arts and Humanities Month 2023!


By Paulette Beete
We cannot tell the complex story of our nation without the arts and humanities, nor envision or achieve a more just, equitable, and hopeful future without them. We celebrate not just the arts and humanities this month, but the imaginative and creative spirit that animates our democracy and makes better American—and global—citizens of us all. 

Join us on the Art Works blog and NEA social media platforms as we celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month! How do you plan to celebrate?
