In the midst of an evolving environment, nonprofit arts organizations are seeking new ways to address various managerial challenges. In recent years, various forms of interorganizational restructuring practices have prevailed as a means to increasing nonprofit arts organization’s long-term viability. This research has examined, in particular, two cases of mergers of nonprofit arts organizations to identify the reasons for which nonprofit arts organizations merge, various concerns and challenges that are involved in such mergers, and the factors that contribute to a successful completion of the mergers. Additionally, the research has utilized a survey to investigate the extent of interrelatedness among a sample of nonprofit arts organizations in Columbus, Ohio. The research has constructed in-depth narratives and analyses of the two case studies and has constructed an analytical framework for understanding the mergers of nonprofit arts organizations. In addition, the research has captured a set of evidence for various interorganizational relationships that exist among the nonprofit arts organizations. The research concludes with a set of policy recommendations for supporting mergers and interorganizational integration in the nonprofit arts sector.
