Abstract

Arts--Management Arts fund raising Arts--Finance Social justice--Economic aspects
The arts and social justice are historically interconnected, but current research demonstrates how arts and culture organizations connect funding models to these practices. Funding for the arts sector has been studied as well as research about how the arts affects social justice. My research examines funding models and methods used by arts and culture organizations who embark on social justice programming. Through a review of the literature and interviews at three arts and culture organizations in the City of Philadelphia, my research uncovers common themes in the sector, specifically in regard to funding. Further, my research explores the intersecting topics associated with funding, including programming, evaluation, and communication with community members and donors. It is the intention of this paper to offer findings and recommendations for the field as we move towards increased engagement in social justice.
