Find Regional Arts Agencies

Do you know where you’d like to work, but aren’t sure how to find opportunities in the area? Finding your local art agency website is a great place to start.

State arts agencies ensure that every community in America receives the cultural, civic, economic and educational benefits of the arts. Use the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies website to explore what the arts can do, and for a directory of art agencies by state.

Local arts agencies do similar work for smaller communities! For example, the Grinnell Area Arts Council has their finger on every art/performance/music happening in Grinnell!

Tap into your local network by finding their website on the Americans for the Arts Local Arts Agency Wayfinder.
