Regional Arts Councils | Louisiana Division of the Arts

RAC Partner Resources Here

The Louisiana Division of the Arts works in partnership with 9 Regional Arts Councils (RACs) throughout the state enabling the back and forth exchange of resources, information and opportunities depicted in the graphic below. RAC/LDOA Partnership Graphic

Part of this partnership includes the administration of the Louisiana Project Grants (LPG) Program which allows for the funding of arts projects throughout the state to be informed by both local priorities and current state cultural initiatives.

Below is a chart with links to each of our 9 RAC partners.
