PA CultureCheck is a study by PA Humanities and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance to gather the voices of Pennsylvania’s cultural, arts, and humanities organizations, along with other nonprofits and community groups. The two primary goals were to continue tracking the post-pandemic recovery and regrowth and to look deeper at the many ways organizations are engaging with their communities. The results inform local and statewide advocacy efforts, educate grantmakers and practitioners about the latest trends, inspire future research, and help build a stronger and more responsive cultural community.
Now in its second year and expanded to include virtual listening sessions, the results of PA CultureCheck reveal that the cultural sector is still feeling the effects of the pandemic but continues to be a powerful asset to economic development with many opportunities for growth. The future of this sector lies not in its past, but how we move forward from here.
Join us for this session where our presenters will provide a summary of the 2023/2024 PA CultureCheck study and its implications for Pennsylvania and Greater Philadelphia’s arts and culture community. Following the presentation, we’ll discuss how this information can inform funder support of the cultural sector’s post-pandemic recovery in our region.
