Abstract
The Virgin Islands nonprofit art and culture industry is impacted by geographic isolation, a sparse population base, and limited funding resources. To develop long-term and sustainable growth within the Virgin Islands nonprofit art and culture industry, a shift in policy is needed. Current Virgin Islands nonprofit art and culture policy is an outgrowth of granting programs established by senior levels of government. These polices have a tendency to place more emphasis on developing specific artistic disciplines rather than connecting these disciplines with community interests. The shift towards sustainable development requires the questioning and changing of deeply embedded social institutions related to Virgin Islands art and culture.
