About the organization
The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) is the membership organization that unites the nation's state and jurisdictional arts agencies. Founded in 1968, NASAA serves as a central hub for research, advocacy, and professional development, fostering a network that supports public funding for the arts across the United States. Its core mission is to strengthen state arts agencies through knowledge sharing, policy analysis, and leadership training, ensuring that the arts remain a vital part of community life and public policy. By convening leaders and disseminating best practices, NASAA helps shape a national arts ecosystem that is equitable, inclusive, and resilient.

NASAA does not offer direct grants to individual artists; its programs, such as the Aroha Fellow for Museums and Creative Aging, are typically aimed at professionals within state arts agencies or partner organizations. Artists seeking funding should contact their state arts agency directly, as NASAA facilitates connections and resources rather than awarding fellowships. For those interested in NASAA's initiatives, monitoring their news and publications provides insight into current opportunities and policy trends.
