Do Arizonans attend the arts? Are Arizona’s arts organizations truly undercapitalized? On Friday, March 25, 2016, Arizona Commission on the Arts Grants and Operations Coordinator Ben Watters will present a data-driven analysis of Arizona’s non-profit arts organizations and break down common misconceptions surrounding the sector. Using data aggregated via DataArts’ Cultural Data Profile, Watters will examine trends in revenue streams and how they relate to changes in modes of arts participation and engagement. Watters will also look at models of development for young and emerging organizations and employment of artists and other art workers.

Hosted by ASU’s School of Film, Dance & Theatre, this presentation is free and open to the public. No advanced registration is required.
