NCAR Arts Vibrancy Index: Hotbeds of America's Arts and Culture

NCAR Arts Vibrancy Index: Hotbeds of America's Arts and Culture

2014-12-09

National Center for Arts Research (NCAR);

What factors make up a community's arts vibrancy, and which cities possess them?

As a contribution to this growing interest, we have undertaken an analytical assessment of arts vibrancy across U.S. cities and developed the Arts Vibrancy Index, a set of data-based indices that highlight metropolitan areas whose arts and culture scenes pulsate with vigor and activity in a variety of ways.

State of the Arts and Culture Sector: 2014 Survey

State of the Arts and Culture Sector: 2014 Survey

2014-09-10

Nonprofit Finance Fund;

This survey chronicles the challenges facing the nonprofit sector. The picture painted by this survey data reminds us of how far we have come. But it also points toward the work that remains to be done if we truly value the organizations that exist to enrich our lives and communities. While many have developed and carried out new, creative ways to engage audiences, visitors and supporters, those strategies have not necessarily resulted in greater financial resilience. And while half of arts respondents reported expanding their programs last year, funding restrictions continue to leave many grappling with challenges like uneven cash flow, few or no reserves, and aging or under-resourced facilities. This report focuses on systemic barriers within the arts funding system -- as well as the actions and strategies that arts organizations are taking to cope with those barriers, while adapting to a world in artistic flux.
