Innovations in State Cultural Policy is a project designed to help cultural leaders and decision makers strengthen their states' cultural activity.

Through illustrative studies, guides and covenings, the project aims to spark collaborations—state-level coalitions that span the arts, humanities, folklife and historic preservation—that can then work with state policy makers to increase the audiences and funding for culture.

Download Policy Partners: Making the Case for State Investment in Culture. This guide to action seeks to illuminate diverse, innovative policy mechanisms that can be adapted by other states.
