Are audiences at the heart of what you do? ♥️

Our new research digest by @EmmaMcDoofus shines a light on what we know (and what more we need to discover) about the impact of cultural engagement on people’s lives.

So, what did we find out? [thread]👇

This year we served up our SIX HUNDREDTH portion of dessert at our fortieth session.
The doughnuts, brownies have been a delight, but it's the tangible value for organisations and audiences that means the most.
Dessert + reflection = meaningful impact.
A real recipe for success.

Over the summer, we worked with @ActorsTouringCo to understand the value of Black Out night performances to Black audiences.
Here’s what audiences said about the impact of having a space to watch a show free from the white gaze.

[Pudding TM @PuddingEvents]

The clearest mandate for post-event forums yet.

Art can change the world. But it needs a raising agent.

This study shows that art can shift the dial on the big stuff only when audiences are given the space to reflect.
