Needs assessment : Évaluation des besoins : compétences et ressources en administration des arts dans le secteur des arts et de la culture au Nunavut : sommaire

Thousands of Nunavummiut are working in the visual arts and crafts, performing arts (music, theatre, circus and dance), film and media arts, and writing and publishing industries. Forming a diverse arts and culture sector, these artists and arts organizations are important contributors to the territorial economy and serve vital societal roles as well, from youth engagement to cultural and linguistic revitalization. In recognition of its wide impact, several funding agencies at the municipal, regional, territorial and national levels are invested in ensuring the future health and prosperity of Nunavut's arts and culture sector. Since 2008, the Canada Council for the Arts (the Canada Council) has worked closely with funding agencies at various levels in order to strengthen its ability to serve artists in Nunavut and to ensure actions are coordinated and relevant. In discussions with the arts community, a lack of business skills, training, services and resources were all identified as major barriers to the sector's stability and growth.
