Take the Canadian Artists and Content Creators Economic Survey
/
The Canadian Artists and Content Creators Economic Survey is part of the Department of Canadian Heritage’s ongoing research to fill data and knowledge gaps related to the cultural sector and to the economic sustainability of Canadian artists and creators. The survey launched in May and will be accessible online until July 2, 2021.
In helping to create an updated portrait of the artistic and creative community in Canada, the data gathered through this survey will serve the important function of informing future and existing Canadian Heritage work, ensuring the Department continues to be responsive to the creative sector’s reality.
This pilot research project targets artists and content creators working in Music (live performance and sound recording); Visual arts (including craft and design); Performing arts (as performers and creative roles critical to their production); Writing (in all forms and on all platforms); and Audiovisual directing and content creation (including social media, video games, television and film).
The key variables that will be measured are related to the artistic or creative occupation; employment and income before and during the pandemic; funding context and relations with industry; and demographics.
