It is often difficult to collate robust statistical data to make the case for the arts. The very process of number-crunching can cause problems for a sector which excels in delivering largely unquantifiable outcomes, such as artistic excellence and personal development. You will find here a summary of relevant facts to give you a flavour of some of the information that is in the public domain. We hope that these prove useful in your own efforts to convince others of the importance of the arts. If you would like to discuss your research needs with the NCA, please contact us.
