Statistical Indicators for Arts Policy

International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (2005) Statistical Indicators for Arts Policy. Sydney: IFACCA

In April 2004, at its meeting in Washington DC, USA, the board of IFACCA discussed a preliminary paper on cultural indicators drafted by the secretariat, and considered how IFACCA could focus its own efforts in this area. The board reinforced the importance of indicators to arts supporters around the world and agreed to the publication of a discussion paper as a contribution to the global effort to develop more robust statistical indicators for arts policy monitoring and evaluation.This D’Art report builds on a discussion paper released in July 2004. The report updates and incorporates comments and feedback received on the discussion paper. The report takes a global view of work currently being undertaken on developing cultural indicators, drawing out some broad analytical and coordination issues and summarising ideas IFACCA has received for expediting future development work.
