Qualitative Research to Inform Strategic Activity for the Australia Council
We worked with Australia Council to undertake qualitative research to inform its strategic activity. The research involved a series of online and face-to-face focus groups with members of the public in regional and metropolitan NSW.
The research aimed to inform the design of the National Arts Participation Survey (NAPS) and sense-checked the strategic priorities outlined in the new Strategic Plan.
The results provided valuable insights into the way Australians of various backgrounds engage with and perceive arts and culture, arts funding and its public value.
