The report is a survey on research and development in the arts.  In her introduction CIDA’s Anamaria Wills writes, “The sector’s special value comes from its openness to experimentation – which includes embracing failure; to collaboration – which means experiencing new ways of seeing, new ways of understanding; and to sharing which means demonstrating mutual respect and recognition. In a world where nothing is as it was, where the traditional generators of wealth now look less reliable and where customers increasingly look for meaning and identity, the arts and the creative sector offer a rich and rewarding way forward.”
