Our Arts Leader Survey takes stock of the past year and looks forward to 2021. As the year draws to a close, ABA wanted to check in on a variety of topics. This online survey was fielded November 30–December 4, 2020; it is the twentieth survey of this series. 

Key findings include:

  • Confidence in the survival of COVID-19 impacts are at an all time high (8.7/10) across survey respondents

  • Only 30% of respondents expect to have live indoor performances at full pre-COVID capacity in 2021.  Of those, only 6% are ‘extremely confident’ this will happen.

  • Progress on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion has been made primarily in community outreach and engagement (56%) and featuring musicians, dancers, actors (48%).
