Industry Health Outlook for Board Presentations

May 2023

ABA’s biweekly surveying of arts leaders provide an up-to-date snapshot of the overall state of the arts sector, in a range of key business areas.

For arts organizations who are sharing strategic updates with their boards, these data points can be useful tools to place their own business plans into the context of the industry as a whole. To support these efforts, we have compiled a deck of our most recent survey findings that arts leaders can use when preparing for board presentations.

The data included comes from ABA Arts Executive Polls and is supplemented with additional trusted data sources from around the arts sector. Highlights include: 

  • The continued challenge of maintaining subscriber numbers post-pandemic 

  • A look at the financial state of arts organizations, including their balances of capital, endowments, and budgets.

  • How arts leaders are adjusting their programming and business model decision in the face of industry-wide changes.
