Through Data Narratives for the Arts, we’re building data confidence across the sector.
In August 2025, we launched our second Data Summer School and, throughout the coming year, we will be working with 12 arts organizations as Data Fellows.
In addition to these training opportunities, Mass Culture also periodically offers free online Data Dives, and in January 2026, we’ll gather the field for the second annual DNA Expo, a full day of workshops and learning.
Alongside these, we deliver tailored training, such as a recent workshop in Summer 2025 with choral Arts Service Organizations (ASOs).
