Through its grantsand programs, the Arts Endowment brings great arts to 
all 50 States and 6 U.S. jurisdictions including rural areas, inner 
cities, and military bases. The Arts Endowment awards competitive

government, and federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, for 
projects, programs, or activities in the fields of dance, design, folk 
and traditional arts, literature, media arts, museums, music, musical 
theater, opera, presenting, theater, and visual arts. In addition, it 
awards competitive nonmatching individual fellowshipsin literature and

percent of the Arts Endowment's funds go to the 56 State and 
jurisdictional arts agencies and the 6 regional arts organizations in 
support of arts projects in thousands of communities across the country.
