How Will the NEA Be Affected if Congress Doesn’t Avert the Sequester by March 1?

In the Air: Art News & Gossip | ARTINFO.com: While Congress may have averted the “fiscal cliff” at the New Year, in actuality all it did was move the deadline for automatic spending cuts to go into effect from January 1 to March 1, effectively killing the scary-sounding fiscal cliff hype and replacing it with the much more obscure (and boring) term “the sequester” — all-but-ensuring that the average American cares much less about it. Fast forward two months. The sequester deadline is rapidly approaching, and you know what that means for the art world: even more cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts.
