Free DataArts Workshops in Flagstaff, AZ
Oct 31 @ 10:30 am – 2:30 pm

The Arizona Commission on the Arts will be hosting DataArts’ (formerly Cultural Data Project/CDP) upcoming workshops in October and November throughout Arizona. These free workshops are geared toward assisting arts and culture organizations better understand and utilize data collection and reporting. Two tracks will be offered: an orientation to the DataArts platform and a hands-on session on using data reports to communicate your message.

Why does data matter?

DataArts can help your organization view, analyze and talk about your internal data in new (and even exciting!) ways. Training workshops set the groundwork for you to use data thoughtfully and effectively, always with the goal of strengthening your organization’s ability to do what it does best: provide high-quality arts and cultural experiences.

Orientation to the DataArts Platform Workshop
October 31, 2016, 10:30am–11:30am

Earlier this year, DataArts launched a new online platform for data collection, reporting and insights for the cultural sector. Attend this session to learn the basics of completing the Cultural Data Profile (CDP) on the new platform. The session will also cover how to apply to participating grantmakers using the system, and access free analytics and educational opportunities from DataArts.

Data + Stories = Impact Workshop
October 31, 2016, 10:30am–11:30am

How do you want to communicate about your organization? You’ve been collecting data points through the year, and it’s time to combine this information with your organization’s story. In our hands-on workshop, learn how data drawn from DataArts’ analytic reports can help you make a case that will:
-Effectively communicate with stakeholders
-Highlight accomplishments for funders
-Raise important issues with policymakers
