In this Section: Legislation & Policy

As arts supporters, it is our mission to educate and inform the general public and policymakers about the social significance and positive impact the arts have - not only on daily life, but on the vitality of our nation.

The arts are transformative and can help shape the very fabric of our society. In our Legislation and Policy section, we’ve gathered resources, information about our key programs, and other tools to help those looking for facts and outcomes related to arts policy.
