The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) was established in 1966 to encourage and develop the arts in the Commonwealth. This document reflects a five-year plan for the agency approved by the PCA in 2001.

A chronology of the strategic planning process is presented. The plan itself is prefaced with an overview of the successes and refinements needed from the previous long-range strategic plan that covered the years from 1995-2000. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Strategic Plan 2001-2005 is unveiled exhibiting an outline of the long-range goals, strategies and tactics of the agency. The five goals identified are considered the essential components of the services that the PCA provides:
