- Summary:
- State government spending on the arts is minimal-and may be losing ground relative to other state expenditures. The authors examine efforts made by state arts agencies to address a changing political and fiscal environment and present their findings on the risks and rewards of bringing the arts and politics closer together. This volume is the second in a series that covers the findings of a multiyear study of the changing roles and missions of state arts agencies.
