Rising Tides Research Institute
Rising Tides Research Institute (RTRI) engages in two avenues of research: an annual internal measurement and evaluation of ABC programs from which recommendations are made, and external research addressing best practices in program execution, sociocultural and socioeconomic issues impacting POC, and larger frameworks of public policy.
RTRI’ goals are:
- To cultivate action-oriented research that results in data which is meaningful and accessible to our communities
- Strategically use research to support the development of relevant programming of adapting to change

No, RTRI is not a program under our Grassroots Action Project. RTRI is its own separate department within ABC .
In March, when initial plans for quarantine were announced artists, arts businesses and arts nonprofits sought out tactical approaches to manage the present and future socio-economic uncertainty by using the resources immediately available to them. The extent to which these resources would be and are successful remains to be determined.
In efforts to initially explore the tactical approaches taken by arts entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders, Rising Tides Researchers executed an artist and arts business needs analysis survey, conducted via the lens of racial equity, to gain a clear sense of the crisis artists and arts nonprofits were potentially facing.
