Advocacy

Americans for the Arts is the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America.

Americans for the Arts and Arts & Business Council Inc. merged their business operations in 2005, creating the largest-ever advocacy group for the arts in America.

The Association of Performing Arts Presenters is a membership organization that achieves its goal by providing visionary thinking, professional development, resource sharing, and advocacy.

The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies provides support and information on issues of policy, advocacy, and state agency initiatives.

Most states have advocacy organizations. Check your State Arts Agency website for more information.
