State arts agencies provide support to the arts industry within their respective states. Most people go to these agencies seeking funding (grants) for arts activities or operating support. For most state arts agencies this kind of support represents only a small part of what they do. Arts organizations and individual artists should look to these agencies for a range of services intended to enhance professional development and organizational stability, as well as to stimulate the arts in education through teacher and curriculum support, artists in residence, etc.The kinds and sources of support vary widely among the different states. Funding is usually derived from a combination of resources including legislative allocations, percent for art fees, special taxes, general support grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, foundations and gifts. State arts agencies must be responsive to the greater needs of the state while being highly accountable to those who provide the funding.
Those seeking funding from state agencies should request the guidelines and forms for application. You will usually need to establish your credentials as a professional by including a vita or resume, project or organization budgets (typically for a three-year period), and credible references. Amateur or beginning artists should first look to local arts agencies, societies and clubs for help in establishing a professional reputation.
