The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies is the membership organization of the nation's state and jurisdictional arts agencies. NASAA's mission is to provide member agencies with the information, resources and representation they require to engage issues proactively and serve the public effectively. Each of the 50 states and six jurisdictional governments has created an arts agency to support excellence in and access to the arts. For the last 30 years, the state arts agencies have invested in our nation's cultural life by nurturing artistic endeavors nationwide and giving millions of people greater opportunities to participate.

In addition to supporting established and emerging artists and arts organizations, state arts agencies are involved in developing, promoting and sustaining programs that reach rural and under-served populations, provide alternatives for at-risk youth, act as catalysts for economic development and offer innovative approaches to arts education.
