Federal funding cuts hit the arts community

The Trump administration has begun canceling grant funding for arts organizations across the country. As word of the funding cuts hit different communities — Oklahoma City; Pittsburgh; New Orleans; Rochester among the first — a group of senior officials at the National Endowment for the Arts announced their resignations. For some local organizations, the funding cuts are coming almost immediately, after they had planned for the money. Evan and co-host Leah Stacy welcome guests to discuss what's cut, and what could be lost as a result. Our guests:

• Peter Conners, publisher and executive director of BOA Editions, Ltd.
• Jessica Johnston, executive director of Visual Studies Workshop, Inc.
• Chad W. Post, publisher of Open Letter Books
• Sherry Vile, executive director of A Magical Journey Thru Stages
