In the arts: Turning insight into action
Our work is nationally recognized for the landmark study on The Value of Presenting: A Study of Performing Arts Presentation in Canada; ©2013; commissioned by the Canadian Arts Presenting Association (CAPACOA). We also provide strategic insight, champion contemporary marketing practices, and deliver practical training in the arts sector.
In 2017, we released Digitizing the Performing Arts; An Assessment of Opportunities, Issues and Challenges (©2017); commissioned by the Canadian Arts Presenting Association (CAPACOA).
With funding from Canada Council for the Arts’ Digital Strategy Fund, a national partnership spearheaded by the Atlantic Presenters Association undertook a major national digital literacy project, Making Tomorrow Better: Taking Digital Action in the Performing Arts. Strategic Moves led this work across Canada from early 2019 to the end of 2021.
In late 2020, we started the Digital Innovation Council for Arts & Culture for anyone working to make those in our artistic and cultural communities who want to participate in digital spaces stronger and more powerful.
Strategic Moves operates its national consulting and speaking practice from Whitehorse, Yukon.
