Since 1982, the Illinois Arts Alliance Foundation (IAAF) has been Illinois’ primary multidisciplinary arts service organization, strengthening the nonprofit arts in Illinois and enabling arts organizations to better serve their communities.

Today, IAA members, partner organizations and donors recognize the organization as one of the most innovative and effective statewide arts advocacy groups in the nation.

We believe that:

• The instinct to be creative is universal
• The arts embrace and celebrate diverse perspectives and distinct and numerous forms of cultural expression
• The arts are integral and must be accessible to the lives of all citizens
• The arts play an essential role in the social, economic, and educational growth of Illinois and its many communities.
