*This is our subsidised rate for arts and heritage organisations in Northern Ireland and comes from our funding from Arts Council. This rate unfortunately is not available to commercial or statutory organisations or those based outside NI

Most projects take more than one day and some will require more than one staff member. We build our proposals around your needs, so total costs will vary.

As a not for profit organisation specialising in research, we can offer support that’s more affordable than commercial consultancies because we’re part of this sector, just like you. Whether it’s for reporting to funders or to better understand the people who engage with your work, we will meet with you to come up with the right methodology for your needs. We can carry out research and analysis, or we can work with you and train your staff to gather and interpret the data themselves. It is up to you to decide what works best for your organisation and your budget. Research we can design and deliver includes:

  • Surveys
  • Focus groups
  • Interviews
  • Observational research
  • Ticketing analysis
  • Postcode mapping

We were appointed by Dublin City Council to carry out cultural infrastructure research in the areas of Dublin North Central and Dublin North West. We explored the arts and culture infrastructure as well as artists and audiences’ perceptions, experiences and thoughts around arts provision in both areas.
