Abstract
The purpose of this Master’s Capstone is to examine the role of state arts agencies and how they
can incorporate economic development into their purpose. State Arts Agencies around the
country are facing many challenges, including severe budget cuts and recovering from an
economic recession. These changes are not new for state arts agencies but they have evolved to
survive new challenges and embrace opportunities. To address these changes, state arts agencies
are at a crossroads in deciding whether to incorporate economic development projects and
programs into their purpose and missions. Through a synthesis of coursework and an extensive
literature review, this research project serves to compare various state arts agencies and to inform
staff at state arts agencies of major trends and areas to be aware of regarding funding streams and
policy windows.
