About the Audience Outlook Monitor

The results now available represent the first two phases of a three-phase study, which is tracking how audiences feel about returning to events in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Phase 1, data was collected between 6 and 14 May 2020, forming a baseline against which future changes can be tracked. In Phase 2, data was again collected from audiences between 8 and 12 July 2020. A third and final phase of data collection will occur in September 2020 (Phase 3).

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.
