				and coordinating the activities in the program director's division. The
				executive director may delegate the authority to conduct hearings to a program
				director when the subject matter of such hearing relates to the functions of
				that director's program division. The current program divisions of the
				Commission are:
(1) The Arts Division. This
				division is responsible for supporting, developing and strengthening the arts
				in all its forms. This division strives to broaden the reach of the arts by
				making available to state residents and visitors various artistic experiences.
				The commission's grant programs administered by the division invest in state
				artists and arts organizations and encourage public participation in creating,
				learning about, supporting and enjoying the arts.
(2) The Film Division. This division is
				responsible for coordinating the commission's efforts to develop and maintain a
				thriving film, television and digital media industry statewide. This division
				is the principal contact point for entertainment media producers and developers
				desiring to do business in this state and serves as a one-stop clearinghouse
				for production information to help ensure this state's status as an ideal
				production locale. This division also administers, in cooperation with the
				Department of Revenue Services, the film production, digital animation and
				entertainment media infrastructure tax credit programs.
(3) The Historic Preservation and Museum
				Division. This division functions under state and federal law as the State's
				Historic Preservation Office. This division is responsible for administering a
				broad range of federal and state statutes and programs designed to identify,
				register and protect and maintain the buildings, structures sites, districts,
				artifacts and objects that comprise this state's cultural heritage. The
				division also operates a number of historic properties statewide.
(4) The Tourism Division. This division is
				responsible for coordinating the commission's efforts to make tourism a source
				of pride and a leading contributor to the State's economy. This division works
				in concert with the State's business community and five regional tourism
				districts to encourage strategic tourism industry investment to help ensure
				that this state is positioned as a prime destination for both leisure and
				business travelers. The division offers the tourism industry a broad range of
				services including marketing, research, hospitality services and direct sales
				assistance. The division also operates six welcome centers in various gateway
				locations statewide.
