We now know a LOT about arts attendance in NI. Do you?
Brace yourself for some tough questions on what you think you know!
In this two-hour session, you’ll be exploring the trends emerging from three years of NI-wide research on audiences: how young people feel differently about events, how the cost of living is changing behaviours, how audiences are – and aren’t – returning, and more.
This is the evidence that could change the way you think about your practice or programme. Two hours of your time to improve the IMPACT of your work.
Join us in person at Arts Ekta on Thursday 11 June 10am-12pm. Places are free but must be booked.
