NEA Big Read Grants

National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read is now accepting applications for the 2023-2024 Grant cycle.   An initiative of the NEA in partnership with Arts Midwest, the NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our neighbors, and ourselves through the power of a shared reading experience. Showcasing a diverse range of contemporary themes, voices, and perspectives, the NEA Big Read aims to inspire meaningful conversations, artistic responses, and new discoveries and connections in each community.
