The National Endowment for <strong>the</strong> Arts (<strong>NEA</strong>) was set up in 1965 during <strong>the</strong> presidency<br />
of Lyndon B. Johnson. As Brian Wallis remarks, it was intended “to aid state policy by<br />
helping to achieve three specific ideological goals: to streng<strong>the</strong>n a sagging sector of <strong>the</strong><br />
economy, to promote American cultural values abroad, <strong>and</strong> to make culture available to all<br />
Americans at home.”<br />
From 1969, during Richard Nixon’s presidency (1969-1974) <strong>the</strong> <strong>NEA</strong> budget increased<br />
from $11 million dollars to $114 million in 1977.<br />
