Description
This report on the arts in Texas was produced as part
of a policy research project conducted at the LBJ School
in the academic year 1975-76. The study examines some
of the substantive issues which have arisen since the creation
of the National Endowment for the Arts in 1965,
with particular attention to the funding and functioning
of local arts councils in Texas. The project, supported
by a grant from the Lyndon B. Johnson Foundation,
makes policy recommendations to the Texas Commission
on the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment
for the Arts regarding federal funding criteria, organizational
restructuring, and increased local participation in
arts programs.
