Data Is Just the Beginning

DataArts is best known as the home of the Cultural Data Profile. But what gets us up every morning is our passion for giving cultural organizations information and tools to strengthen their decision-making, planning, and management.

We’re also working with grantmakers to bring greater transparency, equity, and accountability to cultural philanthropy. And by creating a reliable, representative, national dataset on the finances and activities of cultural nonprofits, we’re powering advocacy and enriching research to advance the sector. Together, all of us are smarter, stronger, and more persuasive.
