Getting In On the Act: How Arts Groups are Creating Opportunities for Active Participation
Arts participation is being redefined as Americans increasingly choose to engage with art in new, more active and expressive ways.
Arts participation is being redefined as Americans increasingly choose to engage with art in new, more active and expressive ways.
This trend carries profound implications, and fresh opportunities, for a non-profit arts sector exploring how to adapt to demographic and technological changes. Getting In On the Act: How Arts Groups are Creating Opportunities for Active Participation is a new study commissioned by The James Irvine Foundation and conducted by WolfBrown.
It draws insights from more than 100 non-profit arts groups and other experts in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. The report presents a new model for understanding levels of arts engagement as well as case studies of participatory arts in practice. It also addresses many of the concerns that arts organizations may have in supporting participatory arts practices and provides inspiration and ideas for exploring this growing trend. Alan Brown, the report's author, will lead this webinar, including an opportunity to brainstorm how theatres are engaging audiences in participatory programs.

Registration Deadline is Friday, March 23.
