Video Games Declared Art In US

Posted By | On 10th, May. 2011

Video Games are now recognized by the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts), which works with the US government, as a legitimate art form under its new grant application guidelines. The NEA essentially issues grants for art works or works about art and it has recently expanded its scope to include a ‘Arts In Media’ category, alongside all the expected forms, which includes: “All available media platforms such as the Internet, interactive and mobile technologies, digital games, arts content delivered via satellite, as well as on radio and television.”

Gooooooooo artistic acceptance!

Thanks to CVG for the info
