Our direct-service work includes funding, programming, leadership development, convenings, and advocacy to move arts and cultural policy forward. Across all, we focus on distributive action that spreads power, information, and resources into our creative communities. We honor their agency by supporting their goals directly — seeking partnership, not power — knowing that our region contains multitudes.
foa'i
We offer practical, equity-centered learning experiences and funding opportunities that connect and inspire artists, culture-bearers, and communities to build a more inclusive sector, strengthen the arts field, and catalyze change.
Networks
We facilitate network-building, knowledge-sharing, and collective learning, through various regional networks, coalitions and learning communities.
Tekinolosi
Our technology platforms equitably build bridges in the arts — connecting artists with opportunities and art-seekers with artists.
Fautuaga
We amplify the work of creative organizations by building arts policy systems that can be delivered anywhere and invest in and strengthen state and federal-level advocacy to support public-sector involvement in the arts. We partner with coalitions and regional and national networks to connect and mobilize artists, administrators, public officials, advocates and influencers to build awareness of arts-related issues and drive action on legislative and regulatory change.

Other Projects and Services
We provide other services that support arts organizations and artists in our region, including consulting services and research, and letters for artist visas.
- We offer consulting services to member states and national colleagues on special projects, studies, and strategic responses to unexpected challenges.
- We collaborate with other arts service organizations and the NEA on initiatives that support the work of artists and creative workers like Performing Arts Discovery, a program managed by the Western Arts Alliance and Creative West in collaboration with the USRAOs that promotes U.S. performing artists to international programmers, festival directors, and venue managers.
