lished by Executive Order in 1966. The Maryland
State Arts Council was created by statute in 1967

Department of Economic and Community Devel-
opment, the Council became part of the Depart-
ment of Economic and Employment Development
in 1987 (Chapter 311, Acts of 1987).

The Council assists artists and arts organizations
throughout the State and designs new or expanded
arts programs. The Council makes grants to indi-
vidual artists, arts organizations, and county arts
councils. It also conducts programs of its own: Slide
Registry of Maryland Visual Artists, Fine Arts in
Public Places Program, Artists in Education Pro-
gram, Arts Facility Assistance Program, and State
Folklife Program.

Annually, the Council receives a National En-
dowment for the Arts grant for program support.

The Council consists of fifteen members. Thir-
teen are appointed to diree-year terms by the Gov-
ernor in consultation with the Secretary of
Economic and Employment Development. Two are
members of the General Assembly: one appointed
by the Senate President and one by the House

Speaker. Council members are chosen because of
dieir participation in civic, educational, and profes-
sional organizations concerned with or engaged in
the production of the performing, visual or creative
arts. Members must also represent all geographic
sections of the State (Code 1957, Art. 83A, secs.
