In this clear-minded but sobering book, Michael M. Kaiser assesses
the current state of arts institutions - orchestras; opera, ballet,
modern dance, and theater companies; and even museums. According to
Kaiser, new developments in the twenty-first century, including the
Internet explosion, the death of the recording industry, the
near-death of subscriptions, economic instability, the focus on
STEM education in schools, the introduction of movie-theater opera,
the erosion of newspapers, the threat to serious arts criticism,
and the aging of the donor base have together created tremendous
challenges for all arts organizations. Using Michael Porter's model
of industry structure to describe how industries evolve, Kaiser
argues persuasively that unless steps are taken now, midsized
performing arts institutions will have all but evaporated by 2035.
Only the largest arts organizations will survive, with tickets
priced for the very wealthy and programming limited to the most
popular and lucrative productions. Kaiser concludes with a call to
arms. With three extraordinary decades' experience as an arts
administrator behind him, he advocates passionately for risk-taking
in programming and more creative marketing, and details what needs
to happen now - building strong donor bases, creating effective
boards, and collective action - to sustain the performing arts for
generations to come.
