NAEA Interest Group: Public Policy and Art Administration (PPAA) Resources

What is our purpose?

Purpose: To provide for an informal yet focused exchange of ideas about research and inquiry in the field of arts administration. PPAA provides an opportunity for those concerned with policy issues to come together to learn of each other’s activities, discuss work in the field, and further policy and research efforts.

To promote study, research, and teaching of issues in public policy and arts administration as they affect and are affected by arts education in schools, arts organizations, and community settings. In so doing, PPAA draws on theoretical concepts and research methods from the visual and performing arts, arts education, law, public administration, and the social, political, and administrative sciences; it thus seeks to widen the pedagogical and research bases of art education, cultural policy, and arts administration.
