Literature review for review

We have posted a concise review of literature on the value and impact of performing arts presentation created to help see the landscape for the Value of Presenting Study.

What we find, to the most part, is that the research is focussed on performing arts in general terms and does not specifically address the function of the performing arts presenter. Still, there is some excellent work in existence that shows the role of the arts in our lives. As this project offers opportunity for public dialogue, anyone interested is invited to participate.

In the document section of that site we have started to collect links to the relevant literature. The value of the arts and their contribution to Canadian economy and society is beyond doubt, even though attacks on the creative, cultural sector persist in some corners.
