National Center for Arts Research: Inaugural Report
Welcome to the first NCAR Report, in which we share evidence-based insights from our inaugural exploration into the health of US arts and cultural organizations. There is no one-size-fits-all performance measure or objective for such a diverse field, only answers to relevant questions that provide an array of useful measures and vantage points. Some anomalies also point to additional questions to explore. We care about numbers not for their own sake, but because we believe that healthier arts and cultural organizations will have more resources to invest in artistic and cultural offerings and in community engagement.

Halsell Foundation, a $5,000 grant from the Orange County Community Foundation's Lonie Bosserman Fund, and a $7,500 grant from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation.
The San Diego Opera's board of directors unanimously voted to rescind the March 19th vote to shut down, thus saving its 2015 season. The Opera raised approximate $4.5 million in several weeks in large part due to a successful online drive. The San Diego Symphony is the pit orchestra for the Opera.
The San Francisco Conservatory of Music will be bringing the Stephen and Cynthia Rubin Institute for Music Criticism to San Francisco November 5-10, 2014.
