DTCA - NEVADA ARTS COUNCIL - The Nevada Arts Council (NAC) was established by state law in 1967 to enrich the cultural life of the state through leadership
and programs that preserve, support, strengthen and make accessible excellence in the arts for citizens and tourists alike. NAC accomplishes this through: (1) awarding
grants that support a breadth of arts and cultural activities throughout Nevada such as folklife festivals, youth artwork projects, concerts, lecture series, arts and healing
programs, and visual arts exhibits; (2) the design and management of outreach programs and initiatives open to residents in all geographic regions of the state, such as the
Folklife Education Initiative and Poetry Out Loud; (3) providing professional development opportunities, such as workshops, webinars and conferences; and (4) maintaining
active partnerships with communities and tribal agencies, schools and educators, arts organizations and artists, and nonprofit and for-profit businesses.
Division Budget Highlights:
1. Increase Arts Grant Funding - To support the Nevada Art Council's grant program and
to mitigate agency cuts from the past two biennia, an additional $250,000 for the biennium
