0.1. How to use this data

Data and research are pivotal in establishing knowledge and a baseline for the process of cultural and social change. At this moment of change, data can help arts and cultural organisations make the case for both funding and fundamental change.

The Review is designed so that you can find the information you need easily and quickly understand an area or topic. The Review was created to provide artists and arts organisations with one place to find all the data and research that they might need - whether that’s to:

• Write a proposal
• Better understand audiences in the Distrcict, or
• Help support the local creative economy.

We present a summary of any information, then more details if you need it and signposts to the data sources.

If you are writing a proposal, feel free to copy and paste from the Report – or use the infographics. All we ask is that you credit us as a source or reference. That helps us demonstrate how useful the Review is.
