On May 2, the FY26 federal budget request called for the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and other cultural agencies.

Free classes for members, Monthly Open Mics, and Black&Lit bookclub.
Author Talks, Poetry Readings, Open Mics, Book Discussions, Family Fun & Learning Nights, and Gallery Exhibitions are all part of our vibrant arts calendar.
The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning’s mission is to empower people to explore and express their voices through imaginative learning and the literary arts.
