Our goal is to increase data-driven decision-making in art and culture. Individuals and organizations use our resources to respond to everyday programmatic and funding challenges, while planning for long-term sustainability. Regionally, Sustain Arts fosters collective action and cultural planning efforts across traditional boundaries.

Through on-the-ground capacity building, Sustain Arts equips communities with meaningful data on activity in the arts and cultural sector. The project supports cross-discipline networks, brings to light new knowledge, creates intuitive technology, and promotes informed action. The work we do is positioned to answer critical questions such as: Where are arts and cultural organizations located? Who participates in the arts now and who might in the future? Where does funding come from? How do the arts maintain relevance over time? What are the funding and programmatic challenges that threaten long-term sustainability?
