1. New CADAC Data

ASOs (Arts Service
Organizations)
CADAC (Canadian Arts
Data/Données sur les arts
au Canada)

financial and statistical data on publicly funded arts
organizations in Canada.

funders and arts organizations by:
Providing common financial and statistical forms
Improving accountability and transparency for both
funders and applicants by reviewing and validating
financial data
Informing assessment processes, research, policy and
program development, performance measurement and

4. CADAC – History
Operational since 2008
Collaboration between the federal, provincial and municipal arts
funders
The database currently contains information on approximately 2000
arts organizations receiving operating funding from arts funders
5. Why a new Data Access Approach for the ASO ?
In the CADAC 2013 survey, the ASOs requested
access to aggregated and disaggregated data (their
members’ data)
As per the new CADAC MoU(Memorendum of
Understanding) effective April 1st 2015, the core
services of CADAC include providing Arts Service
Organizations an access to its data
Since the ASOs had some concerns about the
workload impact on their staff of learning CADAC’s
report functions, the CADAC Staff will provide them
with the reports, but only once a year.
6. Benefits of using the CADAC Data?
It is a reliable and consistent source for
analysis of the Canadian arts sector
To identify trends, monitor the overall health of
the arts sector and the impact of the arts in
communities.
