THE FUTURE OF URBAN MUNICIPAL ARTS AGENCIES
The United States Urban Arts Federation is comprised of Local Arts Agency
leaders from America’s top 60 cities. They have a shared belief

is a great need to involve artists and cultural leaders in addressing
civic problems and challenges. Their Green
Paper imagines the role
of Urban Municipal Arts Agencies in this role both now and in the future.
