I agree that downsizing is the best option for some--perhaps many--institutions. How do we convince funders? We would have to completely redefine success in such a way that funders could advertise that their money had a positive effect by making an institution smaller. I have no idea how to actually make that argument however.
Also, I'm curious how that map would look if it wasn't limited to Philadelphia's boundaries. Would we see a similar number and density of cultural institutions in Montgomery County or Delaware County? What about in NJ?
I also don't know how to make that argument before it's too late. The more I read about it, the more it seems like Philly's cultural sector is a bubble that's starting to burst.
I'd love for the map to extend beyond Philadelphia. I imagine that, unfortunately, similar data is only available for other large cities, but maybe I'm wrong.
