Results from the National Arts and Culture Impact Survey (NACIS), conducted in November 2020, are now available. In total, 2,001 individuals and organizations from across Canada completed the survey.

 

Findings from the NACIS pointed to the following insights:

 

  • One in two organizations had positive experiences with digital programming, but many respondents indicated that going digital is not right for them.
  • Organizations are fairly optimistic, given the circumstances, while individual artists and arts workers are uncertain about their future in the arts
  • Government support is generally positively perceived
  • Very high stress and anxiety levels suggest that the impact of the pandemic isn’t just economic
