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
Theatre
On the Theatre domain page we consider the position of workers in the sector and the number of performances and visits. Attention is also paid to inclusion, digitization and financing.
Literature
The Literature domain page contains figures and information about the makers and readers of so-called general books, as well as about organizations such as publishers, bookstores and libraries that form the links between them.
Design
The Design domain page discusses, among other things, the labor market, the problem-solving capacity of designers and trends such as inclusive design. Other themes that are discussed are social design and sustainability.
Games
On the Games domain page we discuss developments in the production, distribution and consumption of digital games, as well as the infrastructure surrounding them. Because the gaming industry is inherently international, both Dutch and international data and insights are used.
Music
On the Music domain page we present recent figures on the production, distribution and consumption of live and recorded music. There are also developments regarding the resilience of the music sector in various theme areas, for example with regard to talent development and professionalization, fair pay, etc.
Heritage
The Heritage domain page provides figures on, among other things, the supply of movable and immovable heritage, and discusses issues surrounding the cultural significance of heritage and who determines what heritage is.
Visual arts
The Visual Arts domain page discusses developments surrounding the (labor) market position of visual artists and the associated challenges. In addition, museums, art consumption and digitization are examined.
Audiovisual
On the Audiovisual domain page we present information about the distribution and consumption of feature films in particular via cinemas and streaming services. Attention is also paid to audiovisual production.
Architecture
The Architecture domain page mainly contains figures about the labor market and discusses developments such as the changing role of the architect in times of transition and fragmentation of the profession.
