The National Endowment for the Arts is seeking applications for NEA Big Read, an initiative that broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
The program annually supports approximately 75 community reading programs, each designed around a single NEA Big Read book selection. Each participating community organization: selects a book from the available titles for the entire community to read and celebrate over a 4-6 week time period; presents a series of public events about the featured book, such as book group discussions, readings, and media and arts programs; promotes participation in the program; and reports on the type and number of participants at events.
Since 2006, the program has funded more than 1,300 NEA Big Read programs— providing more than $18 million in subgrants to organizations nationwide and supporting activities in every Congressional district in the country.
