Trump cuts funds to San Francisco International Arts Festival

(KRON) — The San Francisco International Arts Festival is among the organizations affected by the Trump administration’s numerous cuts to National Endowment for the Arts grants.

The festival was initially awarded $20,000 in federal funding. However, on May 2, the Trump administration simultaneously informed the festival, and hundreds of other organizations, that their funding was terminated.

On Thursday, a federal judge denied a motion to stop the National Endowment for the Arts from barring funds to artists whose projects promote gender ideology. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the NEA on behalf of arts groups, saying that the NEA still has criteria, which refuses funding to projects that appear to promote this concept.

KRON4’s Lindsey Ford spoke to a participating artist who says they are distraught over the Trump administration’s actions. See the full report in the video above.

The 2025 San Francisco International Arts Festival began on April 30 and ends on May 11.
