At the turn of the 21st century, a significant boom in the construction of cultural buildings took saw the establishment of hundreds of performing arts centers, theaters, and museums. However, many of these cultural organizations struggled to survive after the building was completed, or, alternately, suffered mission drift as the construction project forced monetary or other considerations to be prioritized. Cultural Organizations: Building Arts Facilities in U.S. Communities examines the ways organizations planned and managed building projects during this boom, and investigates the organizational operations after projects were completed. The book answers four fundamental questions in order to better elucidate the decision-making processes that resulted in these cultural facility projects, such as: What are the common themes present in all cultural building projects? How do leaders navigate the decision-making process they must help guide during a major building project? How can we think about cultural building projects from a systematic perspective in order to ensure flexibility and sustainability? How can leaders ensure the successful pursuit of cultural building projects? Integrating quantitative and qualitative data with case-study evidence based on first-hand observation and in-person interviews, the authors posit that current practices in cultural building very often negatively impact both the health of individual organizations and the cultural sector as a whole. They offer evidence and analysis to highlight better practices for managing and leading cultural building ventures. This study will be meaningful to all those who are interested in sustaining and stabilizing the cultural sector and the cultural vitality of the U.S. in the decades to come.
