Reports

The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance has built an extensive research capacity and delivered well-regarded research reports for use by our members and the general public. Findings from the Portfolio reports and Arts, Culture, and Economic Prosperity have become the go-to facts cited in civic and political discussions in Greater Philadelphia. In addition, Arts and Culture in the Metropolis, by the RAND Corporation, has provided the strategic blueprint for arts policy in the region.

The Cultural Alliance is committed to producing high-quality research reports. We employ best-practice research standards to ensure integrity in data collection and analysis. For questions about our reports, please contact Nick Crosson, Research Analyst, at nickc@philaculture.org.
