Advisory Board for the Arts offers biweekly arts and culture executive benchmark surveys on priority focus areas that are top-of-mind to leaders. Benchmark yourself against your peers by participating in surveys and gaining insights from the results. Our latest ABA Executive Benchmark explored rental income at arts and cultural organizations. Highlights from the survey include: Almost all participating organizations have discounted rates (e.g., nonprofit rates) for both private event and performance rentals. About half provide discounts of over 20% off of the standard rental price. Typical rates for both private event and performance rentals at responding organizations range from $5,000 - $10,000. Most flat rates for performance rentals include lighting systems; fewer include staff time. Artistic renters typically are given presence on the website and social media pushes courtesy of the venue. Local arts organizations and individual artists are the most common types of artistic renters. At most organizations, over half of their current performance renters are return clients. ABA is a research, strategy and consulting firm providing data-driven solutions to cultural arts organizations worldwide. The full report is available for free for a limited time on our website.
