The Arts and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 ("Recovery Act"), State Arts Agencies and Regional Arts Organization

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 ("Recovery Act") recognizes that the nonprofit arts industry is an important sector of the economy. In accordance with this Act, the National Endowment for the Arts has received funds to help preserve jobs in the nonprofit arts sector that are threatened by declines in philanthropic and other support during the current economic downturn. As partners of the Arts Endowment, the state arts agencies and regional arts organizations have an important role to play in advancing the goals of this program. The NEA will award American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to the SAAs and RAOs specifically for projects that focus on the preservation of jobs in the arts. Funds to the SAAs and RAOs must be used for subgranting to eligible nonprofit organizations in their state or region.
