ArtWorks: The Economic and Social Dividends from Canada's Arts and Culture Sector

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce released this report highlighting the sector’s social and economic impacts, consumer and export trends, and the return on investment from increased funding.

Business / Arts in partnership with the Canada Council for the Arts engaged the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Business Data Lab (BDL) to assess the economic footprint of Canada’s arts and culture sector. The report leverages the Statistics Canada Culture Satellite Account (CSA) and supply-use tables from Statistics Canada to quantify the sector’s contribution to the Canadian economy.
