Annual report

The Annual report provides an annual overview of the most important topics and developments in the cultural sector. Each Annual report consists of one or more articles that look at the sector from an overarching perspective, as well as the most recent versions of all domain and theme pages. The Annual report also forms the archive of the Culture Monitor.

Annual report 2023

The Annual report provides a summary of the most important topics and changes in the cultural sector every year. Most domain and theme pages have been updated in recent months. Data for 2022 and, if available, 2023 have been collected and all analyzes have been updated. Some pages, such as Music, Culture in the region and Culture and participation, have been completely renewed.

In the Dashboard you can find many more indicators than before. You can now view data at the national, provincial and municipal level. In addition, useful new features have been added, such as selecting multiple indicators, a search bar and options to compare specific municipalities or provinces.
