What are themes?
The Culture Monitor's theme pages cover topics that are not only relevant to one cultural domain but are important for the entire cultural sector. Theme pages put developments into perspective and facilitate the discovery of cross-domain links.
In contrast to domain pages, theme pages have a freer form. Depending on the theme in question, the pages take the form of, for example, a data story, analysis or literature review. In the future, new themes will be added to the Culture Monitor and existing theme pages will be updated.
Themes
Professional practice
The theme page Professional Practice contains data on the composition of the cultural labour market. We look at income and turnover, the position of self-employed persons, professional practice and the associated codes.
Culture and money flows
The Culture and Financial Flows theme page examines the sources of funding for the cultural sector in the Netherlands. It provides figures and explanations about financial flows from governments, private contributions and the sector's own income.
Culture and participation
This theme page shows the developments in visits, practice, consumption and support and is an invitation to explore more cultural figures in the Culture Monitor Dashboard.
Culture across the regions
Where are the most venues, libraries, cinemas or museums located? To what extent is culture visited? The theme page describes (developments in) cultural offer, participation and money flows at the provincial level.
Digital transformation
The Digital Transformation page provides insight into how digital transformation is changing the cultural sector and the various domains within it.
Sustainability
The climate crisis and sustainability are increasingly important themes. This data story describes how the cultural sector is working on sustainability, what role the climate crisis plays in the work of creators, and what the consequences of climate change may be for the sector.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
On this theme page, we explore research on Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the Dutch cultural sector: what issues are there and what makes monitoring complex?
