Since 2018, SMU DataArts has partnered with organizations from several different regions to examine the diverse makeup of the cultural workforce. Information gleaned from these studies helps communities and organizations better understand the demographics of their current workforces and those of the communities in which they operate. To remain relevant to and representative of our changing society, these studies provide key information that can inform decisions that ensure all community members have access to opportunities available within the arts and culture sector.
