Arts council

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

An arts council is a government or private

non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the arts; mainly by funding local artists, awarding prizes, and organizing arts events. They often operate at arms-length
from the government to prevent political interference in their decisions.
