Arts participation is being redefined as people increasingly choose to engage with art in new, more active and expressive ways. This compelling trend carries profound implications, and fresh opportunities, for a nonprofit arts sector that has struggled to adapt to demographic and technological changes. A new study commissioned by The James Irvine Foundation and conducted by WolfBrown draws insights from more than 100 nonprofit arts groups and other experts in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. MoreToday, the Liverpool Arts Regeneration Consortium (LARC) released a year-long study of the intrinsic impacts of arts programs presented by eight Liverpool arts and cultural organizations. The study, How Audiences and Visitors are Transformed by Cultural Experiences in Liverpool, was conducted by WolfBrown in partnership with Baker Richards of Cambridge, U.K. More Yesterday, the National Endowment for the Arts released three new research monographs, including WolfBrown's Beyond Attendance: A Multi-Modal Understanding of Arts Participation, by Jennifer L. Novak-Leonard and Alan S. Brown. We are excited to share this just-released study with clients and friends.

More WolfBrown will conduct a five-year evaluation of the Leading for the Future: Innovative Support for Artistic Excellence initiative, developed and managed by Nonprofit Finance Fund and funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
