  • Download the Executive Summary
    Executive Summary Creating Our Future Results of the National Arts Participation Survey August 2020 Executive summary The arts are vital expressions of human experience, through which we celebrate, commemorate and commune. Arts and creativity can unite us and delight us, make us happier and healthier. They uplift and entertain us, giving us moments of joy or escape from the challenges of our daily lives. Arts and creativity also connect us with each other and with our past and present, and help us to imagine our future. They provide a mirror of the human experience in all its struggles and triumphs. Experiencing the arts connects us with ideas, emotions and stories, and sparks pleasure, meaning, imagination and empathy. The arts can inspire us, educate us, enrich us and transform us. The National Arts Participation Survey asks how Australians are engaging with arts and creativity in our daily lives. How do Australians feel about arts and creativity? How is our arts engagement changing? Do we recognise the impacts of arts and creativity in our lives and communities? How do Australians feel about public funding for the arts? These questions, and more, are explored through Creating Our Future: Results of the National Arts Participation Survey. The 2019 National Arts Participation Survey is the fourth in a landmark research series, following editions in 2016, 2013 and 2009. The 2019 results are based on a nationally representative sample of 8,928 Australians. This series provides a comprehensive picture of Australians’ evolving relationship with the arts. It encompasses engagement with the broad gamut of arts offerings across Australia, including from both commercial and not-for-profit organisations; engagement with free accessible public art; creative participation at all levels from the hobbyist to the arts professional; and the impact of digitisation on the ways we create, experience and engage with arts and creativity.
