The Local Arts Agency

A Local Arts Agency is a community organization that supports and promotes the arts within a specific area. It acts as a bridge between artists, residents, and local government, providing funding, resources, and advocacy to foster artistic and cultural activities. These agencies help organize events, manage arts programs, and ensure arts accessibility and development. Their goal is to enrich the community’s cultural life, support artists and arts organizations, and enhance economic vitality through the arts. Essentially, they serve as a dedicated leader and supporter of the local arts scene.
