Sign up now for special Webinar on latest NI research in Arts

A survey focusing on the general public’s attitude towards the arts in Northern Ireland, as well as participation and attendance levels, shows widespread support for continued and increased investment.  The majority of respondents to the independent survey commissioned by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland also said they would back a political candidate that supported increased spending. The Arts Council will be hosting a special webinar to discuss the report and its findings on Tuesday 3rd October 2023 from 3pm – 4pm. 

The Arts Council’s General Population Survey is based on a representative sample of 1,015 adults between May and June 2023 and provides a snapshot of the characteristics and behaviours of those attending and participating in the arts in Northern Ireland. It also asks questions about the perceptions people have of the value of the arts in society and to the economy.

The Arts Council will be hosting a special webinar to discuss the report and its findings on Tuesday 3rd October 2023 from 3pm – 4pm.
