D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 10, r. 10-A1414
Building a stronger constituency for the arts will require engaging the arts community more effectively in local planning. Since 1968, the DC Commission on Arts and Humanities (COAH) has been a vehicle for artists and creative professionals from across the city to advocate for policies that expand cultural awareness and opportunity. Strengthened relationships between the COAH and other city agencies can lead to clearer, more integrated, and ultimately more successful results. By organizing and mobilizing the arts community, the District can also work toward greater support from arts patrons from across the entire metropolitan area, and not just those living in the District. 1414.1
