The Cultural Data Project (CDP) is proud to be collaborating with the Meadows School of the Arts and Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University and others to create a National Center for Arts Research at SMU.

By combining and analyzing CDP data and data from other national and government sources such as the Theatre Communications Group, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Census Bureau and the National Center for Charitable Statistics, the new National Center for Arts Research will analyze the largest database of arts research ever assembled, investigate important issues in arts management and patronage, and make its findings available to arts leaders, funders, policymakers, researchers and the general public.
