Information About

Arts Council




In the United States, the National Endowment For The Arts (NEA) is the national arts council with each of six regions hosting a Regional Arts Council (RAO) and each state hosting a state arts council and each county within the state hosting a county arts council. Some cities under each county even have their own arts council.

EXTERNAL LINK

Almost every country provides some government support for arts and culture, but not all choose to adopt the arm's length or arts council model. Many national governments rely solely on a government ministry or department to deliver their cultural policies and support programmes. Most of the 'arts council' countries listed above also have a government ministry or department for arts and culture (rare exceptions are the USA and the Philippines); the typical arts council therefore lives in quite a complex environment, wedged between the arts sector and government.
