About the Private Sector Council
The Private Sector Council combines the efforts of the Arts & Business Councils, the Business Committee for the Arts, and the United Arts Funds, along with other local arts agencies that promote arts and business partnerships and increased private sector support for the arts. The Council is an elected body designed to advise Americans for the Arts on developing and implementing private sector advocacy programs, and to serve as leaders to other local arts agencies seeking to connect with the private sector.
Strategic Focus:
- Identify and develop leaders from the private sector for the arts.
- Assist with the development and implementation of a national campaign aimed at communicating the value of the arts to the private sector in an effort to increase private sector support for the arts.
- Increase resources for the arts from the private sector.
