| Abstract: | Measuring the quantity, quality or health of a city's arts and culture is a complicated task. A number of comprehensive comparative arts measures have been developed, but they all lack detail and, as such, are of limited use to public administrators and arts managers. The authors define important measurement aspects for a city's arts economy and suggest proxy measures. They conduct a sample comparative analysis of 20 American cities on level of arts activity for visitors and residents, financial health of the arts sector, quality of the arts and prospects for future growth. They then synthesize the different measures, identify alternative ways of conducting measurement studies and provide recommendations for arts managers. |
