SMU DataArts provides a toolkit of evidence-based insights into the health of arts and cultural organizations in America. Our goal is to enable arts and cultural leaders to overcome challenges and increase their impact. We do this by analyzing the largest database of arts information ever collected, investigating important issues of arts management and patronage, and making our findings available to arts leaders, funders, policymakers, researchers and the general public. 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.
