Better Together #8: Secondary Income for Arts & Culture Organisations

Better Together #8: Secondary Income for Arts & Culture Organisations

Tuesday, 15 October 2024
Adam Roe, Executive Director at New Art Exchange, discusses NAE's approach to secondary income with a focus on their CaféBar and how it supports the organisation's wider aims.

For Better Together #8 we were joined by Adam Roe, Executive Director at New Art Exchange (NAE), Nottingham.

Secondary income for arts and culture organisations refers to revenue generated from activities outside their public programming. While primary income typically comes from ticket sales, donations or grants and funding directly tied to their programme, secondary income involves more commercial ventures such as cafés, shops or venue rentals.

Adam spoke about NAE's approach to secondary income with a focus on their evolving CaféBar and how it supports the organisation's wider aims and ambitions. New Art Exchange's CaféBar serves a 100% plant-based world food menu.
