New report shows need for improved financial literacy
Thousands of Nunavummiut take part and earn a living in the territory’s arts sector, including visual arts and crafts, film and media and performing arts.
There is a growing arts community across Nunavut, but its stakeholders say they face a growing number of challenges when it come to business and administration.
A new report commissioned by the Canada Council for the Arts agency shows Nunavut’s artists need improved financial literacy to manage the income they make from their work.
Between November 2013 and March 2014, consulting firm Nordicity Ltd. met with and surveyed 85 artists and stakeholders to understand how Nunavut’s industry was faring.
