Arts, Culture & Economic Prosperity 6

Every five years, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance participates in the Arts and Economic Prosperity (AEP) study conducted by Americans for the Arts (AFTA). This year’s Arts & Economic Prosperity 6: The Economic and Social Impact Study of Nonprofit Arts and Culture Organizations and Their Audiences in the Greater Philadelphia Region (AEP6) marks the fifth time the Cultural Alliance has participated in this research. 

Stay tuned for more information! The full report will be released on Apr 30, 2024. Join the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance for a release webinar on April 30 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. The Cultural Alliance’s Director of Research and Data, Kristen Vinh, will be joined by Nicholas Crosson, Development & Research Manager at PA Humanities to take arts and culture organizations through the AEP6 findings. Together, we will review the latest data about the total economic impact generated by Greater Philadelphia’s arts and culture nonprofits, data on audiences and their economic impact, tax revenue generated, and more! Participants will also learn more about the opportunity to purchase custom reports detailing their organization’s individualized impact.

Registration coming soon!

Did you also know that in addition to the region-wide and city-level reports we generate, the Alliance can also create customized economic-impact reports for specific cultural organizations? These individualized reports provide key economic indicators such as total economic impact, direct and indirect spending, resident household income and tax revenue for each organization. Email kristenv@philaculture.org for more information about purchasing a customized report.
