As part of the NEA State  Partnership Agreement panel review, a cover sheet accompanies each state arts agency’s application that includes state demographic and geographic information as well as a five-year history of the SAA’s state and NEA funding. NASAA assists this process at the request of and with guidance from the NEA Partnership Office by researching fresh and relevant data from nationally normed sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The annual result of this partnership is a set of two-page cover sheets, one for each state and territory, although panelists see only the sheets for the states under review that year. As an example, above is the 2017 cover sheet for Ohio (which is not under review this year). To request the sheet for your state, contact NASAA Research Manager Paul Pietsch.
