Americans for the Arts

Americans for the Arts is a national nonpro?t organization promoting the advancement of the arts in America. With of?ces in Washington and New York, it is focused on three primary goals: fostering an environment in which the arts can thrive and contribute to the creation of more livable communi­ties; generating more public­and private­ sector resources for the arts and arts education; and building individual appreciation of the value of the arts. In February, 2005, Americans for the Arts and Arts & Business Council, Inc. merged operations, allowing the organization to increase its efforts to secure increased funding for the arts from the private sector.

Americans for the Arts' extensive website includes access to the Arts Policy Information Center, which helps arts researchers, advocates, administrators, patrons, and the general public access the most current information on research regarding arts policy and practice. Also online is the Arts Action Center, an e-­advocacy center with information and links to help you advocate for the arts. Information resources also include links to arts publi­cations, ?eld research, and The National Arts Policy Database, where you can search research abstracts, news articles, program pro?les, and sample documents related to arts policy. There is also a Field Directory, a searchable database of local, state, regional, and national arts service organizations throughout the country as well as the Arts Education Network, which links arts professionals, artists, educators, and other arts leaders who plan, implement, and fund arts education programming at all levels. The website also includes Americans for the Arts’ Public Art Network (PAN) for individuals and organizations engaged in the ?eld of public art. PAN con­nects the ?eld by stimulating dialogue, discussing critical issues, developing public art products and services, and providing information through the website and the PAN Listserv. For additional information on Americans for the Arts see Employment.

The Job Bank’s advanced search features allow you to search by region, job function, salary range, and job type. Americans for the Arts has also included links to other job banks and career development resources to help job seekers.
