‣ Large data gaps on the practice of cultural exchange in the field remain and greater cooperative efforts are necessary to further address them. ‣ Additional research about trends in international exchange and programming for each discipline are worth further investigation. ‣ Long-term information gathering is needed to further establish benchmarks. ‣ Representative cultural membership organizations, with some exceptions, are reluctant to recommend independent surveys to their membership or to poll their constituents. This is based on the belief that their memberships are not engaged in international cultural exchange or international programming combined with a concern of “over-surveying.” ‣ Information on foreign artists and organizations and their direct experiences in engaging with the U.S. culturally is minimal and could compliment further research on the practices of U.S. based organizations’ trends of engagement. © AIMEE FULLMAN 2009 46
‣ This survey is the first attempt to systematically and quantitatively benchmark the international engagement practices of U.S. based cultural organizations. Many thanks to each of the 136 individuals (representing 134 organizations or individual artists) who took the time to participate in this survey. Without their individual investments of the significant time required to gather the appropriate information, this survey could not have been undertaken. ‣ A special thank you to Americans for the Arts which published two calls for responses on the Cultural Policy Listserv (now Arts Watch) in addition to including 4 questions on its own Urban Arts Federation Survey. ‣ We are grateful to the American Association of Museums, ART in Embassies, Dance/USA, and Opera America each of which generously reached out to select members of their constituencies and program participants to solicit responses. © AIMEE FULLMAN 2009 47
