The table below shows the results of a 20-year study into why adults in the UK attend arts events.
The table illustrates four reasons why adults in the UK have attended
arts
events
over the past twenty years
. The major reason over the whole twenty-year period was a desire to see a specific performer or artist; while
the least important reason was attending arts
events
for work-related reasons.
The percentage
of people
who attended events
out of a desire to see a particular performer has remained relatively stable throughout the twenty-year period; varying from 58% twenty years
ago to 56% today
.
On the other hand
, the percentage
of people
accompanying children has shown a significant increase, from 9% 20 years
ago to just under a quarter today
. As far as those who attended arts
events
because of special occasions or celebrations are concerned, the percentage
fell slightly from 27% 20 years
ago to 20% a decade ago, dropping dramatically to 9% today
.
There has been a slight increase in the percentage
of people
attending arts
events
for work or business, from 6% 20 years
ago to just over 10% today
.
Overall
, there has been a rise in people
attending events
in order to accompany children and for work-related reasons, while
fewer people
choose to attend an arts
event as a form of celebration.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
