About the Audience Outlook Monitor

The Audience Outlook Monitor is tracking how audiences feel about returning to events in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data was initially collected between 6 and 14 May 2020, forming a baseline against which future changes can be tracked. Phase 2 of data collection occurred from 8 to 12 July 2020 and Phase 3 of data collection occurred from 2 to 6 September 2020.

Seven government agencies are collaborating with research agencies Patternmakers (Sydney) and WolfBrown (USA) to produce this resource. The dashboard is freely accessible and designed to help artists and cultural organisations of all kinds to make the best possible decisions about re-opening.
