Summary:

A Resource guide for establishing and developing a local arts agency published by the Arizona Commission on the Arts.

Abstract: The Local Arts Development Program works in partnership to conceptualize, research, design and implement programs that have a long-term impact on a local level in underserved, ethnic, rural and emerging communities for organizations and individuals; and to develop programs to impact the work of the local arts agencies around the state. 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.
