As the primary arts funding body in Alberta, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts helps to unleash the potential of every artist. The AFA plays a key role in supporting the Spirit of Alberta, Alberta’s Cultural Policy. The AFA exists to fund, encourage, and support the development of arts as a valuable contributor to quality of life in Alberta, and to develop the AFA art collection as a strategic resource for all Albertans. The organization is based in Edmonton. == Background == Founded in 1991 under the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Act,〔(Legislation )〕 the AFA’s mandate is to support and contribute to the development of the arts in Alberta. It replaced the Alberta Art Foundation, the Alberta Foundation for the Performing Arts, the Alberta Foundation for the Literary Arts, and the arts and cultural industries grant programs of Alberta Culture and Multiculturalism. The AFA is governed by a Board of Directors. The AFA reports annually to Alberta’s Minister of Culture and Community Spirit and supports the Ministry’s business plan through goals one and two. The AFA receives an annual allocation from the Alberta Lottery Fund, which it distributes through a variety of programs to artists and art organizations across Alberta. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alberta Foundation for the Arts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
