United States

Local Arts Agencies (LAAs) provide a wide range of programs and services to strengthen the arts infrastructure in nearly every county across the United States. LAAs play a central role within an ecosystem of creative workers, residents, visitors, arts and cultural organizations, local municipalities, and other partners.
Through our work, the NEA aims to strengthen the Local Arts Agencies ecosystem by welcoming applications for arts projects developed and managed by:
- Arts agencies that are units of city or county government or officially designated to operate as arts agencies on behalf of their local government;
- Non-arts departments of local government, including but not limited to economic development, parks and recreation, or planning departments. For the purposes of these guidelines, local governments are defined as counties, parishes, cities, towns, villages, or federally recognized tribal governments;
- Designated special districts, such as creative, arts and entertainment, or cultural districts;
- National or statewide service organizations that work primarily with a network of LAAs.
