The federal government has doled out a less-than-stellar amount of funding for San Diego art jobs.

Of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, $50 million was earmarked for the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA gave some of that funding to state and regional arts agencies for distribution, while $30 million in direct grants was given to museums, theaters, symphonies and other cultural institutions in order to avoid cutting critical positions or to restore previously eliminated jobs.

However, the City of San Diego only received two grants totaling $75,000, according to an article by The San Diego Union-Tribune. The Old Globe theatre in Balboa Park received $50,000 and AjA Project, a photography education program in City Heights, received $25,000. Both organizations used the funding to save jobs that would have otherwise been cut.
