The Regional Arts Task Force was formed by the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce to address challenges facing the arts in the Atlanta region. After stakeholder interviews and analysis, the Task Force identified a lack of shared vision, leadership, and funding. It recommended establishing a new nonprofit organization, the Arts & Culture Leadership Alliance, to provide regional leadership. The Alliance would oversee working groups and fund collaborative "ecosystem initiatives" across the region. The Task Force also recommended pursuing private and public funding sources to sustain the Alliance's work in coordinating vision, leadership, and initiatives to promote the arts.
