Abstract
With artistic values and social meaning, performing arts groups gain governmental grants. In Taiwan, there are central governmental agencies providing art subsidies, including National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF) and Council of Cultural Affairs (CCA). In addition, local governmental agencies provide subsidy programs as well. Nevertheless, with insufficient budgets, both central and local governmental agencies can not fully satisfy the financial needs of these groups.ake the USA for example: most non-profit performing arts groups are subsidized by local or state art agencies. National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which is an agency at federal level, only subsidizes national, challenging, or preservative performing arts activities. Therefore, NEA’s responsibility is not too heavy for long-term, normal operations. n Taiwan, the NCAF suffers from the shortage of funds, but it has established an admired framework of art subsidy, which is also adapted by other governmental agencies in Taiwan. Facing similar budget issue, CCA is criticized for its distribution and reviewing system by performing arts groups.s the government has to take many performing arts groups into account when distributing grants, the money has to be equally distributed to various arts fields. In addition, the government can only offer limited financial support according to its budget. However, different groups at different development stage require different amounts of money. Hence, it is hard to meet every group’s need. Moreover, most of the subsidy-granting panelists also participate in the groups under assessment. Thus, future panelists need to know both arts and management well to be able to make sensible decisions. he problems are about to be solved by the government. Thus, it’s extremely important to overview the structure of art subsidization in Taiwan. Although it’s hard to establish an encompassing granting system around the nation, government can still provide a further developing vision for the performing arts groups through subsidy programs.
