Phase 2 National Scan 2026 ASO National Survey Launch Party
About the Event:
On Thursday, July 31, 2026, ADC Consulting hosted the 2026 National Arts Service Organizations Survey Launch Party, led by research leads Alejandra Duque Cifuentes and Carrie Blake of ADC Consulting.
The 2026 National ASO Survey is a first-of-its-kind effort to collect information on arts service organizations operating in the United States today. It is a part of Phase 2 National Scan of our multi-phase research study Understanding Arts Service Organizations in a Changing Arts Ecosystem, which aims to understand the role, impact, and ongoing evolution of ASOs.
Building on the learnings from Phase 1 Background Research, the event will include:
A brief research presentation on the history of the research study and what we have learned to date;
A discussion featuring Gonzalo Casals of the Culture and Arts Policy Institute and Voices for Creative New York on the importance of building open data infrastructure for the arts sector; and
A first look at the 2026 National ASO Survey, including a full overview of its questions and content.
