Americans for the Arts

Americans for the Arts is a national organization that supports the arts and culture through private and public resource development, leadership and public policy development, information services, public awareness and education. Americans for the Arts has developed the Institute for Community Development and the Arts to promote local government funding for the arts by educating local arts agencies, elected and appointed municipal officials and arts funders about the important role of the arts as community change agents for economic, social and educational problems. The Institute also identifies innovative community arts programs and nontraditional funding sources for local arts agencies and local civic officials to replicate or adapt in their communities. Institute partners include Bravo Cable Network; International City/County Management Association; National Association of Counties; National Association of Towns and Townships; National Conference of State Legislatures; National Endowment for the Arts; National League of Cities; President's Committee for the Arts and the Humanities and U.S. Conference of Mayors. The Institute is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Pew Charitable Trusts, The Rockefeller Foundation, the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation and the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation.
