Introduction

Baseline data for the Audience Outlook Monitor was collected in May 2020 in collaboration with 159 arts and culture organisations, including museums, galleries, performing arts organisations and festivals.

Researchers at Patternmakers and WolfBrown worked with the Australia Council and arts agencies in every State/Territory to invite a sample of organisations to participate. The goal was to ensure a balance of organisations sent the survey to a sample of organisations, so that the Audience Outlook Monitor would provide reliable insights about all artforms, regions and organisation sizes.
