Understanding the status and needs of America's culture today is an essential prelude to preserving the nation's cultural heritage and sustaining and enhancing the aesthetic, social and economic contributions of our artists and cultural organizations. 'Optimising America's Cultural Resources' aims to foster broader public appreciation of arts and culture and their role in society. It also promotes policy dialogues so that the public can grapple knowledgeably with the issues affecting arts and culture in American society.
