What is ARTS?
ARTS is a partnership between Business / Arts, the National Arts Centre, and Nanos Research that conducts quarterly surveys of over 1000 Canadian culture-goers. Since its launch in May 2020, ARTS has offered valuable insights into audience behaviours and trends. With each quarter touching on a specific topic area, winter focuses on marketing, spring on sales, summer on public perceptions and engagement, and fall on fundraising. Read more.
