Watch: ARTS – Audience Engagement & Belonging
At the top of the webinar, Nik Nanos presented the latest findings from the Arts Response Tracking Survey (ARTS), focusing on audience behaviours, engagement patterns, and the sense of belonging fostered through arts and cultural experiences.
In this session, we explored the vital role the arts play in our communities, serving as inclusive spaces that offer unique opportunities for connection and learning. We considered the motivations behind attending arts and cultural events and how these experiences help audiences build meaningful connections with their favourite institutions and each other.
We engaged in a conversation on audience engagement strategies, the importance of cultural spaces for social connection, and how to leverage these insights for greater community impact.
