Performing arts in Francea brief overview in figures November 2008
Before reading… • The lack of one database makes it difficult to have consistent figures: the following slides come from different sources for different sectors and consequently do not show comparable indicators. A project for a national observatory/database for the performing arts is currently being considered by the Ministry of Culture and social partners. • In France, different levels of public authorities (state, regions, departments, communes, municipalities) have different prerogatives for supporting the performing arts. Financing is often mixed, making it hard to have a complete overview of public funding. • The figures in Slides 3-6 do not account for organizations that depend directly on a public authority and whose employees have the status of civil servants. • The figures in Slides 7-12 represent only certain organizations that receive funding from the state-level (Ministry of Culture) and are not exhaustive. The data also excludes a whole portion of subsidized performing arts that is not funded by the state, but that is funded by other public authorities. • For the purposes of this presentation, certain sectors of the performing arts have not been included – it is a selection rather than a comprehensive portrait of the sector. • Conclusion: please read the following with caution!
