This text provides a review and analysis of the rationale for public support of the arts, its development in the US and the policies and institutions through which public support is provided. The effects of public support in practice - on the major "high-culture" performance arts and disciplines, and on 16 more or less representative organizations - are analyzed, in relation to the expressed goals of the granting authorities, and substantial changes in policy as proposed.
