We started the Arts Industry Benchmark Study in 2012, and it continues to be the only study of its kind in our industry. Our most recent findings from 2019 come from a survey of 180 arts organizations, and offer a multipurpose snapshot on the state of digital marketing practices in the arts.

How the Study has Evolved

For the sixth iteration of the Benchmark Study in 2019, we revamped our approach to focus on the most critical metrics and key performance indicators for digital marketing in the arts. And to make the data even easier to interpret, we cut in one or more of three ways: by all organizations, by operating budget, and by organization type.
