The Association of American Cultures

About this original series

Convening artists and cultural workers reflective of our pluralistic society to inform and advocate for democratic cultural policies. The Association of American Cultures, TAAC, was founded in 1985 to provide leadership in achieving equal participation in policymaking, equitable funding for all cultural institutions, an elevation in multicultural leadership and essential networks that impact cultural policies. TAAC was created by a resolution of participants of Open Dialogue II. Open Dialogue II was the second national meeting ever held in the United States of artists and arts managers of color. Participants represented all arts disciplines and all ethnically specific/minority communities. The resolution asked for the creation of a national arts service organization whose purpose would be to continue convening the Open Dialogue and to act as an advocate for the support of artists and arts organizations who were concerned with the preservation of their culturally specific identities through the arts.
