“…One reason SAAs preferred to give grants to well-established institutions was that such institutions had the capacity to be accountable for public money. Another reason was that most state arts council members, as well as their advisory panelists, were affl uent, highly educated and of white Western European origin (Harris, 1970;Pankratz, 1993).

This study aims both to map the cultural policy-making system of a particular U.S. state (Washington) and to provide a general model for mapping cultural policy at the state level. It conceives of state-level cultural policy as being composed of three primary streams: arts policy, humanities policy, and heritage policy. A chapter is devoted to each of these policy streams. Each chapter provides an extensive profile of the "lead" cultural policy agency -i.e., the arts commission, the humanities council, and the historic preservation office -and complements these with shorter profiles of other agencies and programs that address specific cultural policy concerns. The policy-making system detailed in each chapter becomes progressively more diffuse as one moves from the arts, to the humanities, to heritage. Increasingly, state agencies dedicated to cultural policy give way to, coexist and interact with cultural policy programs embedded in agencies with other missions, third party agents, local and federal government actors. As this diffusion and dispersion expands, the problems of policy image, cohesion, and coordination increase apace. Within each profile, the authors present information organized into a set of common categories. These matrix elements include:
