This report provides a snapshot of the arts centre sector, based on financial information relating to 2021/22 and 2022/23.
It is the first time that this information has been brought together to highlight the opportunities and challenges that exist within the arts centre sector.
It presents a mixed picture: clearly arts centres are under huge financial pressures, as a result of COVID recovery, high inflation and the cost of living crisis, but their business models offer opportunities to survive and grow with the right support.
