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.

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.
