Culture in America?

Author: Alphie

A question slightly off topic:

How does Culture in the US normally work? Do you have a minister of culture in the federal administration or is all that taken care of in each separate state? Is there ever any tax money involved in cultural events, occasional or even permanent institutions like museums, theatres and orchestras or are they exclusively private funded? Can small groups like a string quartet or a chamber orchestra apply for public money for their survival or are they left to market economy and how do they survive in that case?

The reason I’m asking is that culture in Europe is almost always paid for by the government in some way. Private sponsoring always comes on top of that if the institution or group is lucky enough to get any at all. I’ve never understood how much Capitol Hill is involved with culture in America and I hope someone can clarify this to me.
