National League of Cities

The National League of Cities (NLC) is an organization comprised of city, town and village leaders that are focused on improving the quality of life for their current and future constituents. Arts and culture are fundamental to the vitality and wellbeing of our cities, towns, and villages. NLC helps local leaders to leverage the power of the arts to improve local health, cohesion and resilience.
With more than 100 years of dedication to the strength and advancement of local governments, NLC has gained the trust and support of more than 2,700 cities across the nation. Our mission is to relentlessly advocate for, and protect the interests of, cities, towns and villages by influencing federal policy, strengthening local leadership and driving innovative solutions.
NLC creates resources and opportunities for city leaders to embrace and enrich their local arts community. Visit their website for blogs, webinars, and best practices on melding the arts with local government for betterment of all.
