@Artsy just released a pretty eye opening survey in the motivations of Art buyers. We suspect similar results would hold true in Canada #artists https://t.co/EvnmX13sfy
“In the wake of recent controversies surrounding the funding of major institutions – dubbed ‘toxic #philanthropy’ – we must rethink the system for supporting culture.” #art https://t.co/eMfW8g1jhy
According to the @StatsCanada, the culture industries have 8x more economic impact than sports: the direct economic impact of sports industries was $7.3 billion in 2017, compared to nearly $59 billion for culture! #arts#artsjobs#CanadaDay@CanadianArt https://t.co/G3cvrocPEG
Maybe there’s hope for the world after all 😅 “Americans Would Rather Have Creative Hobbies Than a Netflix Subscription, Study Finds” @Artsy https://t.co/48vY9uAcie
We ❤ this! “Overall, the study shows that 86 per cent of Canadians attended arts activities in 2016. That’s more than 31 million Canadians.” https://t.co/WwLBumqfbt
According to a recent survey of 2,500 adults “65% of people under 30 had felt some level of anxiety in the previous 24 hours and that they were twice as likely as others to use monthly art visits to calm down”. Sounds like a good idea to us! https://t.co/ExwBN9Hp01
“The trouble with quantifying the impact of the arts simply by studying black and white inputs and outputs, without looking at qualitative data, ignores the many intangible benefits of the arts,” says Nichole Anderson Bergeron, President of @BusinessftArts https://t.co/S3jOBR6Ekg
