Sacramento Performing Arts Facility Study
Executive Summary

Economics Research Associates (ERA), an AECOM company, was retained by the City of Sacramento to study the performing arts community in the Sacramento region and the need for additional facilities downtown. The analysis seeks to uncover the characteristics of demand for new performing arts facilities in downtown Sacramento, identify the operating economics of new facilities, and, if warranted, recommend a program for developing a new performing arts facility for the City of Sacramento.

Arts Advocacy
By visiting the Americans for the Arts (AFTA) E-Advocacy Center, you'll be able to send a message directly to your Representative and Senators telling them why the arts are important to you and your community. AFTA has
provided bullet points covering their eleven key Arts Advocacy Day issues, which you can use in the sample letter that they've drafted for you. You are also encouraged you to write your own unique story to illustrate the importance of the arts to your community. Using the E-Advocacy Center, you can create and send your letter to Congress in less than two minutes. AFTA urges you to send your message to Congress today to coincide with AFTA's office visits to the Hill. Click here to send your
