The 21st Century Arts Conference is an annual event attended by arts leaders, managers and marketers from a wide range of arts organisations. This year's theme, Building Audience Capital, looks at how the arts can grow audiences and deepen their engagement.
At the conference, Creative New Zealand will also launch Audience Atlas New Zealand Report 2011 – the result of a major survey of the New Zealand population. This new research provides arts organisations with information to help develop their audience and marketing programmes and to better understand their current and potential audiences. Audience Atlas New Zealand 2011 measures attendance and potential interest for 39 artforms and cultural attractions.
Further information on the Audience Atlas New Zealand 2011 is available from www.creativenz.govt.nz/audienceatlas2011
