When an Artist decides to go on tour, they have many decisions to make – where will they rehearse, what venues will they play, how elaborate will their performance/staging be, what equipment will they use in order to create their vision, and where will they pro-cure these goods and services. Like any business, there are countless strategic decisions to make. Fortunately, many of the services that help create a live event as well as many of the venues that hold live events are located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania Arts and Culture Caucus, a bi-cameral, bi-partisan caucus, was established in October 2012 with the purpose of providing caucus members access to the latest research, education and policy developments on arts and culture.  Additionally we support caucus members in their efforts to draft and pass legislation that advances arts, culture, and tourism in the Commonwealth.  We support arts and culture because they are economic drivers in Pennsylvania while yielding many other educational and civic benefits.
