AEA Consulting recently completed the first phase of a Scoping Study for The James Irvine Foundation to identify the most critical issues that the cultural sector in California must address to ensure a sustainable and healthy cultural ecology for the future. The first result of this is a working paper, "Critical Issues Facing the Arts in California". Although this paper focuses on California, many of the issues are relevant to cultural organizations around the world.
