The future of this sector is, therefore, closely linked to the future of our country and to the opportunities open to us. The success of our cultural and creative companies will be a deter- mining factor in enabling our voices to continue to be heard around the world. In this way, we will facilitate the country’s move towards a model of intelligent, sustainable and integrative growth, while demonstrating that these activities drive progress and development. They are similarly one of our best tools for strengthening our national identity in the area of creative and innovative ideas. It is, however, not yet possible to quantify creativity in the absence of an adequate unit of measurement. What we can evaluate though are its effects, the result of creative processes once converted into tangible realities. It may seem cold to look at the figures when we are dealing with cultural issues, but these are absolutely essential for the definition of fields and as a way of describing traditionally inaccurate profiles within the creative environment as well as its relationship with society. Only through detailed knowledge and accurate data is it possible to trace the paths that we need to tread in order to successfully over- come the challenges we face. Challenges that we must learn how to convert into opportunities, such as the internationalisation of markets and audiences, the natural outlet for endogenous talent, the holistic view of the value chain, as well as a commitment to the professiona- lization and industrialisation of creators and cultural SMEs. We will, thereby, be generating a greater and deeper knowledge of the creative and cultural business area. These solid reference points relating to a field that, by definition, is constantly evolving are the elements that will allow us, collectively, to continue to occupy a prominent place on the world map of creativity and, as a result, on that of those countries able to link culture and progress. Ferran Mascarell i Canalda Minister for Culture 4 More employment and a larger public. Two objectives that, each day, guide the work of the Directorate-General for Creation and Cultural Companies of the Ministry of Culture, which focuses all its efforts on furthering culture in the professional sphere. To speak of employment is to speak of the artists and all the professionals in the performing arts, visual arts, audiovisual media, music, literature and all those sectors such as digital media or architecture that incorporate themselves into the working dynamics of the Ministry of Culture. The effort made in adapting all lines of support to the needs of the moment in which we live must translate into greater capacity for creators in Catalonia when bringing their projects to fruition and making them accessible to society. The policies aimed at promoting access to cultural activity must result in an improvement in the numbers attending the public and private facilities located throughout Catalonia. ‘The public’ is not just a one-sided, one-way concept. Each cultural activity has, by definition, an audience to which it transmits its content and from which, at the same time, it receives an active response. Only if we understand that the public is not a passive subject but rather a key element in a circular process that comes back to the creator can we begin to appreciate in just measure the quantitative data available on the number of spectators, readers and users. This document summarises, on the one hand, data that allow us to analyse, in the most up-to-date way possible, the situation in which Catalonia’s creative and cultural sector finds itself. On the other hand, it gives a summarised explanation of the lines of public support for each of the links in the value chain of the professional field of culture. They are new relations with creation, new ways of working with the public culture network, new funding tools for private entities, a new structure for strategic trade fairs and markets and new activities to work with the public in achieving our two objectives.
