Our latest ABA Executive Benchmark explored art and cultural organizations’ approaches to artistic and exhibition planning.
Highlights from the survey include:
Over half of responding organizations finalize their core artistic programming 1-2 years in advance of a season.
In the performing arts, master works/familiar classics and new works are ranked the most prioritized types of programming for the most recent season.
Diversity of artists and creative teams is significantly more important than it was fives years ago.
Most organizations have not responded to the current Israel-Hamas war via changes to their artistic programming.
