Canada's performing arts presenting networks have undertaken a large-scale enquiry in order to understand and communicate the value and benefits of presenting for Canadians and to raise awareness of the role of the live arts presenter in the creative chain, in communities, in society. This study will initiate a series of dialogues, live and online, throughout the country and in both official languages, which will strengthen the connections between the various stakeholders of the presenting field.
This long-awaited study was launched in May 2011 and will unfold over two years. The project is directed by an Advisory Committee and conducted by a team of consultants led by Strategic Moves. CAPACOA provides project management.
