Do arts, sciences and history organizations earn enough money from ticket sales?

No. It is vital that cultural organizations keep ticket prices affordable and accessible to the public. Therefore, only about one-third of the funds needed to keep the doors open at our arts and cultural institutions comes from ticket sales and sponsorships. Through the generosity of donors, United Arts provides critical operating support.
