NASAA’s mission is to strengthen state arts agencies.
We are the professional association of the nation’s 56 state and jurisdictional arts agencies. NASAA is a national, not-for-profit, nonpartisan organization that champions public support for the arts in America.
Together, NASAA and the state arts agencies advance the arts as an essential ingredient in the well-being and prosperity of our nation’s individuals, communities and families.
NASAA’s research and member education programs inform and inspire state arts agencies.
