The Congressional Arts Handbook is compiled annually as part of the National Arts Action Summit. Within this Handbook, arts advocates will find facts and figures, related legislation, research, talking points, and more to help share compelling data and authentic stories about the impact of the arts in your community and to educate federal decision-makers about why supporting the arts and culture sector is essential. The National Arts Action Summit is organized by Americans for the Arts and organizations in support of federal policies for the arts and arts education in America. The event is presented in partnership with over 200 national, regional, state, and local organizations representing arts, culture, business, civic, and education organizations and individuals nationwide.
