Domains
Domain pages provide key figures and show the important trends and developments per cultural domain.
What are domains?
In the Culture Monitor, domains can be compared to cultural 'disciplines' or 'subsectors'. The Culture Monitor currently contains information about the domains of Architecture, Audiovisual, Visual Arts, Design, Heritage, Games, Literature, Music, Performing Arts and Theatre. New domains or further breakdowns will be added in the future.
The various domain pages have a fixed layout. The pages successively offer a selection of key figures about the domain, describe the most important developments and identify which knowledge gaps still exist. This information is based on recent data, available literature and conversations with many stakeholders and experts.
Domains
Architecture
The domain page Architecture addresses developments within the field of spatial designers in the Netherlands. Architecture as a domain includes the four disciplines architecture, urban development, interior architecture and garden and landscape architecture.
Audiovisual
The Audiovisual domain page focuses on developments within the audiovisual sector in the Netherlands. It offers figures and explanations about the production, distribution and consumption of feature films and series in particular via cinemas, movie theaters and streaming services.
Visual arts
The Visual Arts domain page discusses developments around the (labour) market position of visual artists and the associated challenges. It also looks at museums, art consumption and digitisation, among other things.
Design
On the Design domain page, topics covered include the labour market, designers' problem-solving capacity, and trends such as bio-design and AI design. Other hot topics include social design and sustainability.
Heritage
The Heritage domain page addresses developments within the heritage sector in the Netherlands. It provides figures and explanations about movable, immovable, intangible and digital heritage and considers issues surrounding the cultural significance of heritage.
Games
On the Games domain page, we discuss developments in the production, distribution and consumption of digital games, as well as the infrastructure supporting them. As the games industry is inherently international, both Dutch and international data and insights are used.
Performing arts
The Performing Arts domain page provides figures on the number of performances and visits by discipline and the number of people employed in the performing arts.
Literature
The Literature domain page contains figures and information about the creators and readers of so-called general books, as well as about organisations such as publishers, bookstores and libraries that form the links between them.
