Increasingly, state arts agencies (SAAs) and regional arts organizations engage in working partnerships to realize the unique value of arts and creativity across sectors. SAAs collaborate with agencies working in health and human services, transportation and community development—alongside extensive programming in education, the humanities and economic development. Over the past year, NASAA conducted research on state arts agency programs exemplifying collaborations between SAAs and non-arts agencies working to improve public-sector outcomes. Join NASAA, the National Endowment for the Arts and SAA colleagues as we highlight several state program examples from the research and discuss the importance, challenges and benefits of cross-sector work.
