2 Greater Annual Report Cultural 2011

0 Alliance 11 FROM THE PRESIDENT Fiscal Year 2011 was an important year of adaptation for the Cultural Alliance and our members. Facing a stagnant economy and with new political leadership in Harrisburg, we responded to the new environment, setting a standard that will continue to be important in the year ahead.

That adaptation began with a proactive policy approach. Leading up to the gubernatorial election, the Alliance met with candidates of both major parties to encourage and publish candidate platforms, and deepen our statewide relationships. To advance the cause that arts and culture makes Philadelphia a better place to live, work and raise a family, we launched a new strategic messaging framework called “Arts & Culture. It’s How We Grow®” And later, we used that message to help turn back a proposed 70% cut to the Council on the Arts.

That message was supported by our research, which documented that Philadelphians truly care about arts and culture and actively participate. In spite of the recession, our Cultural Engagement Index (CEI), which measures both attendance and creative practice, increased 11%. Working with the community, we were able to leverage that public support, building earned income for the sector through our ongoing marketing programs. We broke new records for visitors to Phillyfunguide.com, sold more than 40,000 last-minute tickets through Funsavers, and grew our direct mail Cultural List Cooperative to over 2 million households.

The Alliance, with our partners, also launched a new service, PhillySpaceFinder.com, generating additional earned income for cultural organizations by connecting users of rental, performance, rehearsal, and special events space to creative spaces.

Arts & Culture helps FY2011 was a tough year, but it was one where adaptation paid real dividends. To our members, I say thank you for rolling up your sleeves, putting in longer hours, and working with tenacity and creativity to accomplish more with less. To the people of Greater Philadelphia, who, undeterred by the individuals come recession, have continued to attend and support arts and culture in record numbers, a special thanks for showing why our collective efforts are so important. Together, through arts and culture, we are together and grow making Philadelphia a truly world-class region. as a community Sincerely, Tom Kaiden President
