What is a Local Arts Agency?
(Councils and Commissions)
A local arts agency is a
private community organization or local government
agency that supports cultural organizations, provides
services to artists or arts organizations, and/or
presents arts programming to the public.LAAs endeavor to make the arts part of the daily
fabric of community living.Each LAA is unique to the community that it
serves, and each changes as fast as its community
changes.
However, all seek to serve the diverse art forms in
their community and make them accessible to every
community member.
