th report in the Statistical Insights on the Arts series from Hill Strategies Research, shows that public museums and art galleries generate increasing amounts from non-government sources. However, the report also finds that government revenues continue to represent the largest share of total revenues.
The report examines the situation of non-profit museums and art galleries in Canada, based on the 2006-2007 Business for the Arts
Annual Survey of Public Museums and Art Galleries. A total of 113 Canadian museums and galleries participated in the survey, including 52 public art galleries, 38 public museums, 12 university-affiliated art galleries or museums, and 11 artist-run centres. Organizations responding to the Business for the Arts survey are based in all 10 provinces and the Yukon.
