The AFA is supporting a two-year research project conducted by Stone-Olafson on current engagement of arts audiences in Alberta. We are pleased to share the first set of results ("Wave 1").
This work was developed for the arts sector exclusively and is designed to provide specific, relevant, and reliable facts to support the leaders in the arts sector as they seek to understand their audiences and grow attendance.
Key topic areas for Wave 1 include:
- understanding current behaviours, habits, and patterns
- understanding current attitudes and perceptions towards the arts
- understanding barriers to engagement and support
- exploring programming and communication preferences
- understanding perceptions of value

About the project
The AFA has partnered with the Rozsa Foundation, Calgary Arts Development, Calgary Foundation, Edmonton Arts Council, and Edmonton Community Foundation, to support the Spotlight on Arts Audiences research project. The work will survey arts-inclined audiences in Calgary, Edmonton, and across the province to provide data that is useful and timely for arts leaders and organizations three times per year over the next two years.
