SO WHY SHOULD GOVERNMENT SUPPORT THE ARTS ?
Hard economic times lead to tough questions about government funding, so NASAA (National Association of State Arts Agencies) in the USA has come up with some answers. Designed for public arts leaders and advocates, Why Should Government Support the Arts? (PDF) provides answers to these questions and describes why the arts are an essential public investment. This document invites conversation and reflection about the value of the arts to American communities. It also provides resource material and research citations that any state can use to support its case for the arts. NASAA encourages broad use of this material. There is also a Research Supplement and more information is available here.
