Arts Funding by Philadelphia and Some Peer Cities Updated (2010)

How does Philadelphia compare to other cities in funding the arts? (Updated for 2010)

The Greater Phildelphia Cultural Alliance periodically analyzes arts funding levels by Philadelphia and some of its peer cities. This research brief is meant as an update to a comprehensive analysis undertaken in 2009. To get a full picture of how Philadelphia and some of its peers fund arts and culture, please see Arts Funding by Philadelphia and Some Peer Cities (2009).

In this analysis from June 2010, we found that Philadelphia’s peer cities did not seem to be making drastic cuts to their support for arts and culture. In most cases, there were small decreases or level funding.
