About the Arts Data Platform

The Arts Data Platform (ADP) was launched in September 2023. Containing data from the Canada Revenue Agency spanning 2018-2021, the ADP captures the economic state of the charitable arts sector during the lockdown years.

Through community consultation, Mass Culture launched the followup to the ADP in November 2024: the DNA Platform. 

While the ADP is no longer being updated, it will be maintained to act as a teaching tool.

The ADP was devised in consultation with capitalW.

Land Acknowledgment
Mass Culture honours and acknowledges the territories upon which our offices reside, the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Métis, and the Anishinabek, including the Mississaugas of the New Credit Nation. We recognize and respect all recorded and unrecorded Nations who cared for this land of Tkaronto, meaning “Where the Trees Meet the Water.” We honour the Dish With One Spoon treaty and our responsibility to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Mass Culture is grateful for the opportunity to nurture the world of the arts and connect cultures and communities across this land, which is the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island. We hope to breathe life into our obligations to those communities and treaties. If you’re not sure of the history of the land on which you live and work, you can check out whose.land/en/ and native-land.ca/.
