Virginia Commission For The Arts Careers in Richmond, VA

The Commission's funds come from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. The agency, which was created in 1968, is guided by 13 Commissioners appointed to five-year terms by the Governor and confirmed by the General Assembly. To ensure statewide representation, at least one Commissioner -- and no more than two -- is appointed from each Congressional district. A full-time staff of 4 implements programs and policies. The Commission is assisted by a statewide network of advisory panelists.
