Zusammenfassung:Twenty-five years after Shepperson's book (to which a later Nevada executive director has since written a sequel), Nevada Humanities offers-among other programs-Humanities on the Road, the Vegas Valley Book Festival, the Reno-based Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl, the Online Nevada Encyclopedia (called, naturally, the "ONE"), a distinguished writers program, the Nevada Humanities Festival and Chautauqua, Young Chautauqua, and more. By their nature, the performing and visual arts inevitably look outward to public audiences, in a way that some core humanities tasks, such as research and writing, may not. [...]NEA provided local funding through state-level arts councils, tied into their respective state governments. "Increasingly, councils have come back around to this notion of how humanities can help us address issues of contemporary concern," she says, "issues that people really care about, but on which they have difficulty finding common ground, providing a bridge between widely differing points of view, for which you need neutral ground."
