Executive Order 14151, signed January 20, 2025, directed all federal agencies to terminate “all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and ‘diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility’ (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities,” as well as all “equity-related” grants and contracts within 60 days. The order had implications for arts and culture agencies that receive federal funding, as it required them to review and revise grant programs and compliance requirements. Arts organizations expressed uncertainty over how the order would affect their eligibility for federal funding and which programs might be subject to termination. Executive Order 14151 has been challenged in court on First Amendment grounds, with plaintiffs arguing that its restrictions on DEI-related programs amount to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and suppression of protected speech.
