SETC’s Advocacy Resources

How many times have you wished for quantitative data to support your stories showing the value of theatre to our culture?
or
How often wanted a number at your fingertips that proves the economic impact of the arts?

        SETC's Advocacy List features a list of resources that will connect you to just such data and statistics, supporting the value of the arts in many areas, from their impact on the economy to their influence on education and quality of life.

Our idea is not to re-invent what others already have created. Rather, we want to provide a quick way you can find information sources, whether you are a theatre company seeking a grant, a theatre department justifying your contribution to an academic institution or a teacher defending the importance of the arts to a child’s education.

We welcome additions to this list. If you know of a research study or statistics that might be helpful to others in theatre please send your information to the Central Office at setc@setc.org. For each study or resource you submit, please follow the format of the listings in the column above and provide:

• Name of the organization that sponsored the research
• Short summary that identifies the study or research and the findings of the study
• Information on how and where SETC members can gain access to the information, whether it is a link, email or postal address or phone number.

        Sharing our stories and hard quantitative data helps us all be stronger advocates for our own art, organizations and missions.
