May, 2011 Researcher Alan Brown presents 2010 Cultural Engagement Index (CEI) findings to over 200 members at Alliance Day on 5/19/11. The CEI rose by 11 points, from 100 to 111; key findings included: • Despite the economic crisis, the CEI suggests that Philadelphia is more culturally vibrant than the nation as a whole. • Cultural engagement is highest for younger age cohorts 18-34. • Significant gains were reported for dance, theatre, visual arts, and online activity. Member organization Taller Puertorriqueño is featured in 3 newspapers as part of a partnership campaign with PECO to produce and execute a marketing and public relations effort highlighting area cultural organizations, the positive impact they have on their communities, and PECO’s generous support for these organizations and the work that they do. Art Sanctuary, Asian Arts Initiative, and Peoples Light & Theatre are also featured.
