Program B: Arts
Program Authorization: R.S. 25; 901-902
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The goal of the Arts Program is to enhance Louisiana's rich and irreplaceable heritage of cultural arts. The program carries out its mission to reinforce the concept that arts are an essential part of life in Louisiana by administering grants to various arts activities and individual artists. There are two activities in this program: Administration and Grants.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
1. The Arts Program will increase the number of Louisianans experiencing arts activities by ten percent (10%) by June 30, 1999, by supporting major art institutions, local art agencies, community arts organizations and individual artists through grants and fellowships.
2. The Arts Program will work to preserve Louisiana's rich folklife heritage. This is a new effort and specific objectives and performance indicators have not been formulated. These will be reported in next year's executive budget.

SOURCE OF FUNDING
This Program is funded with General Fund, Fees and Self-generated Revenues and Federal Funds. The Fees and Self-generated Revenue is derived from the selling of the crafts directory and "Made in Louisiana" stickers. The Federal Funds are from the National Endowment for the Arts.
