2022 End of Year Reflections

December 20, 2022

For ABA’s last arts executive poll of 2022, we wanted to thank our Spotlight subscribers for celebrating another year with us. We wrapped up this year with a fun survey to learn about everyone's best moments of the year and how everyone plans to celebrate the holiday season.

Our latest Arts Leader Survey asked arts leaders to benchmark themselves on their most positive activities of the year, best moments to look back on, favorite shows/exhibitions, and holiday traditions. Highlights from the survey include:

• When thinking about the most positive events over the year, the majority of arts leaders are encouraged by the enhancement and growth of community partnerships.

• Arts leaders were most appreciative of returning to in-person events and other opening performance events, with community engagement programs following close behind.

• For this holiday season, arts leaders are most excited to spend time with their family and friends.
