Description: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), in
partnership with South Arts and in collaboration with the five other
U.S. Regional Arts Organizations (RAOs), has launched a new pilot
subgrant program, ArtsHERE (<a href="https://usregionalarts.org/artshere/">https://usregionalarts.org/artshere/</a>).
ArtsHERE subgrants, which will be referred to as ``grants'', are for
specific projects that will strengthen the organization's capacity to
sustain meaningful community engagement and increase arts participation
for underserved groups/communities. For the purpose of the ArtsHERE
funding guidelines, ``underserved group/community'' refers to those
whose opportunities to experience the arts have been limited by factors
such as geography, race/ethnicity, economics and/or disability.
The National Endowment for the Arts will conduct a program
evaluation of the ArtsHERE initiative, which may inform the future of
the ArtsHERE program as well as generate insights to strengthen the
arts and culture sector and to inform future practice and national
strategy for public funding for the arts. This OMB request is for
approval of the program evaluation plan and the instruments used in the
evaluation.
