Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance

The Cultural Alliance is an Arts and Culture membership and advocacy organization.

The 2010 Annual Report says:

"We are in a battle for the health and future of our region. As we begin FY11, the Alliance — with the help of its members — will fight this battle on three fronts:

Policy Engagement

Our goal is to ensure that cultural organizations are supported by policy that helps them contribute to regional growth.

We will:

• Complete data analysis for the 2011 Portfolio, which will include more organizations, and examine the effect of the recession on arts & cultural organizations 
• Expand community-based cultural organizing efforts throughout the region 
• Ensure that arts and culture play a role in state and local election cycles, particularly the election of a new Pennsylvania Governor
  

Personal Engagement

Our goal is to gain more patrons and partners, so we need them to be more deeply engaged.
We will:

• Release the next Cultural Engagement Index (CEI) which will document changes in consumer engagement around personal creative practice, arts attendance, and arts education
  
• Update Phillyfunguide and Funsavers with expanded content and more user-friendly and accessible features
  
• Offer professional development opportunities to help members use engagement to build stronger relationships with participants
