State and jurisdictional arts agencies and regional arts organizations engage in working partnerships to leverage the unique value of arts and creativity across sectors in solving community challenges. State arts agencies collaborate with agencies in health and human services, transportation and community development—alongside extensive programming in education, the humanities and economic development.
These cross-sector Strategy Samplers highlight initiatives to partner across sectors. With the exception of Arts in Transportation, the cross-sector Strategy Samplers were developed in collaboration with the National Endowment of Arts.
