Executive Summary In March 2010, the Columbus Foundation retained AMS Planning & Research to conduct a sustainability analysis of the Columbus arts sector. The goal of this analysis was to explore two questions: 1. Is the breadth and depth of the cultural ecosystem in Columbus appropriate for a community of its size, composition and access to resources? 2. Are individual organizations within the region’s cultural ecosystem able to sustain themselves given the size, composition and resources of the market that is available to support them? Situation Analysis Building on work by WolfBrown in their January 2010 report on the Future of the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, we began our work by extending their trend analysis over a 10 year period to document changes in the Columbus arts sector over two economic cycles. Among key observations: • There has been an aggregate loss of earned revenue in the sector, with a decline of 27.3%. ($4.8 million) • Contributed revenue has increased, with individual giving having increased by 124.4%. • Corporate contributions increased by only $285,000 (5.0%) • Public sector support from all levels of government gained just $850,000 (23.3%) • While some organizations contracted considerably over the past decade, there are a number of organizations that have successfully grown or emerged. • The largest organizations, in aggregate, have had no material gains in buying power over the past decade despite increased […]
