peer groups

Rural and Small Communities

This peer group is designed for arts agencies serving rural and small communities throughout the United States. Members represent less densely populated parts of the country—areas with fewer resources and smaller audiences—but burgeoning with creativity, artistic imagination, and initiative. Americans for the Arts provides communication among members via listserv, meeting opportunities at our national convention, and publications that specifically address this topic.
