US Regional Arts Organizations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The US Regional Arts Organizations (US RAO) are six not-for-profit entities created to encourage development of the arts and to support arts programs on a regional basis. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, membership dues, and various enterprises, they provide technical assistance to their member state and territory arts agencies, support and promote artists and arts organizations, and develop and manage arts initiatives on local, regional, national and international levels.
