Who’s Who in Government Arts Funding?

Federal, state and local governments invest around $1.5 billion in the arts each year. NASAA’s revised visual resource, Who’s Who in Government Arts Funding, illustrates how the public funding system works and what those dollars achieve. This one concise page offers information on the impact of public funds as well as links to state-by-state investment data, economic impact information, equity benchmarks and more.
