New England Review is delighted to announce the support of the National Endowment for the Arts through 2016, with our third annual Art Works grant.

Beginning in 2014, New England Review was able to double its payment to writers appearing in the print journal—the first increase in 20 years. Thanks to this $10,000 grant, we will continue paying this higher rate through our next volume, in 2016, as well as continuing to pay contributors to NER Digital, our original writing feature for the web.

The only arts funder in the nation to award grants to recipients in every state, the NEA awards total more than $27.6 million. We are grateful to the NEA for their help in supporting writers at every level.
