Create an Arts Organization

Arts organizations can be effective platforms for developing, supporting, promoting, and coordinating the arts within a community, region, or even state. While big cities are often home to numerous established arts groups, many of our small, rural communities in West Virginia lack an organized voice promoting the arts at a local level. As a result, this toolkit is designed to provide an overview of different types of arts advocacy organizations, and offer practical steps for starting an arts organization in your community.
