Economic Trends in the Creative Industries

The South African Cultural Observatory (SACO) has commissioned us to produce a report on some of the most important economic trends affecting the Cultural and Creative Industries in recent times. Prof Snowball (j.snowball@ru.ac.za) is the Principal Investigator. Other members of the research team are Profs Richard Haines (Nelson Mandela University) and Andre Gouws (Rhodes University Research Associate). Rhodes University has given ethical clearance to this research project (Ethics Approval Number: 2024-8140-9115). 

By participating in the discussion, you will be contributing towards a better understanding of which economic trends have had the most important effects on the Cultural and Creative Industries in South Africa. Such information, which will be shared by the SACO website, will be important for better understanding the industry and keeping policy relevant and effective.
