Announcing Health and Wealth: Supporting NYC Theatremakers through Data and Insights

A.R.T./New York is pleased to announce a high-impact data and research initiative designed to help us better serve our organizational and individual members, while also leveraging our membership’s insights and experiences to provide stronger support for our sector. 

As you know, over the past three years, the theatre industry has been tremendously impacted by both the acute and ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. A.R.T./New York’s member theatres continue to face unprecedented challenges including increased supply costs, evolving audience trends, work to provide better wages, and labor scarcity. In recent years, A.R.T./New York has also undergone our own significant transformation, reforming our operating practices and organizational structure to align with our values and to prepare us to meet the emergent needs of those we serve. Our staff, leadership, and operations now support our ability to further focus on understanding and responding to the unique and evolving needs of the field.
