Spotlight on Arts Audiences - Wave 3 Results

DATE :

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 third set of results ("Wave 3").

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 3 include:

  • Assess interest and engagement with arts related education opportunities
  • Understand spending habits and how they’ve altered
  • Identify current barriers to last minute engagement
  • Understand ad hoc decision variables
