Operation of arts facilities and sites

NACE code 90.31 covers the operation of arts facilities and sites, which play a vital role in the cultural and creative industries. These establishments, such as theaters, concert halls, and art galleries, provide platforms for the presentation and appreciation of various art forms, from performing arts to visual arts. They contribute significantly to the cultural landscape, fostering artistic expression, community engagement, and the preservation of cultural heritage. The operation of these facilities is an essential component of the broader creative economy, generating economic activity, employment, and cultural enrichment for the communities they serve.

The operation of arts facilities and sites involves a range of specialized techniques and processes. These establishments must carefully manage the logistics of hosting performances, exhibitions, and events, ensuring the smooth coordination of artists, technicians, and support staff. This includes the setup and maintenance of stage equipment, lighting, sound systems, and other technical infrastructure required for the presentation of artistic works. Additionally, these facilities often engage in the curation and preservation of art collections, requiring specialized knowledge and conservation practices.

The operation of arts facilities and sites relies on a variety of inputs, including physical infrastructure such as buildings, stages, and exhibition spaces. These facilities also require specialized equipment, such as lighting, sound systems, and stage machinery.
