When an arts organisation is balancing their artistic, financial and social objectives, the organisation is also thinking about engaging and targeting a specific audience for whom these objectives will suit. To do this, several approaches to audience development will be taken in order to help the organisation meet their overall aims.
In order to meet these several objectives that arts organisations set themselves, during their planning they need to take into consideration the levels of audience engagement and use marketing and audience development approaches in order to reach these aims. Arts Council England says audience engagement is the activity which is taken to meet needs of existing or potential audiences and to help arts

Throughout this essay there will be case studies of campaign plans and an analysis of how the above principles have been applied in order to help an arts organisation meet their organisational aims.
When incorporating audience engagement into any form of plan, one first needs to know if their target audience is ‘available’ or unavailable. Keith Diggle says that ‘Within your catchment area there is an Available Audience – aim for your Available Audience now and your Unavailable Audience later’ (29). This is an important point to reflect on when considering audience development, as an available audience has ‘already experienced the art form you and your organisation are presenting and include such experiences in their regular diet of activity’ where as an unavailable audience ‘is made up of those people who do not attend events of the type you are presenting and do not feel any particular need to attend such events’ (34). When balancing social, artistic and financial objectives it is crucial to take into account your available and unavailable audiences as one needs to ensure your objectives are targeting the most appropriate and useful audience, especially when one’s objectives involve attracting a group who are ‘defined by their social or economic class, or by their age or by their taste in a particular manifestation of an art
Slide 2: The Utah Opera is an adhocracy culture. An adhocracy culture is one that is externally focused and values flexibility. This type of culture is adaptable, creative, and reacts to change quickly (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2010). The opera shows these qualities in their culture. The opera values flexibility, and has tailored their business model to allow for adjustments in both the size of the opera and fundraising projects. This allows for them adjust their operations in a timely manner as needed in order to meet profitability goals. The general nature of the opera fosters the creativity that is required for the adhocracy culture, since they are an arts program. The opera focuses less on their
From a human resources standpoint, FNL currently has a great relationship with its clientele and is rich with performers and entertainers eager to take part in the events. This is demonstrated by the growth of visitors to 25,000 in the last season with additional growth expected. By last year’s numbers alone, 2,800 visitors can be expected, demonstrating the objective is not out of reach (see Exhibit 1). As the venue’s maximum operational capacity is limited 5,000 people, a sellout is plausible, creating a feel of exclusivity, encouraging people to buy their tickets in advance. A sold out event would be a huge success not only in achieving the desired attendance, but also for the future episodes in the
The author uses facts to build her argument and appeal to the reader. The use of this strategy provides a stable backing to her statement and provide likely reason to her claim. Gioia states, “According to the 2002 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts, a population study designed and commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts, arts participation by Americans has declined for eight of the nine major forms that are measured… The declines have been

We are pulling back the curtains and shining the spotlight on a PO and youth who embody DOP’s mission to strengthen communities, create opportunity and change lives through Client Engagement. PO Felicia Finch of MFIS was assigned the case of 16 year old “Patrick” who in January 2017 was placed on 15-Months’ probation for a serious offense. Raised by his mother in a cramped two-bedroom apartment occupied by three other adults, Patrick became overwhelmed by his lack of privacy, but was overall, a good student who is enrolled in mainstream education. Although Patrick attends school regularly and does well academically, he struggled to “fit in” with his peers, and would not always turn in his homework to avoid being perceived as a “nerd”. Recognizing
What aspects of your specific audience (their activities and interests, any history they might have with this or other genres, generalizations you think fair or accurate about the way they think) make them likely to be affected in the way you desire?
Obtaining the attention of multiple audiences is a challenging task to achieve, which is why when attempting to reach out to all audiences we must use several forms of communication to receive the best possible outcome. Now when speaking about my communication plan and having to create genres for various public audiences there a multitude of factors I had to consider. I had to acknowledge what is the genres primary purpose and had to keep in mind some main components such as, audience, genre expectations, and how creating these genres will impact this project. However, utilizing all aspects and meeting high standards is difficult to maintain.
When people think about a museum most of them think about walking around starring at paintings they don’t understand and reading the little cards with their description. After a while they get tired of walking around long hallways and finally decide to leave. On the other hand, the Gallery One at the Cleveland Museum of Arts is more than just a museum, it’s a fun and innovative environment that how Alexander explained, “… the intention of Gallery One was to transform visitors into participants, rather than passive observers.” (2014). When people get their hands on the action they are most likely to have fun, learn, and build experience.
Students would learn about their own display of emotions and that of others- learning through the arts.
In this case, it revealing the process where the audience as co-producers of the work itself. (Yerebakan, 2016) This important intent of the artwork is clearly not an object but a process, what is important to conserve here, for the future display of the work, is the participative intent of the work, in which case, then the very nature of what is documented about exhibitions becomes particularly important. (The People Speak 2012) (Graham, 2013)
Knowing the audience is an essential key to success in scholarly and workplace writing. Audience is a major key for the writer in choosing what to include in the writing content. Also, knowing audience helps
It has been said that theater was the most popular performing art in the early 20th century that was until the invention of moving talking pictures or movies. The reason why theater was the most popular performing art is because movies didn’t exist yet on a broad scale. If people wanted entertainment they had to go to the theater. Now that we have television and movies, theater audience has dropped significantly. Although it wasn’t until televisions were in everyone’s home that live theater really took a hit. Since then we have seen the audience dwindle at the theaters as time progresses. Luckily before theater was eclipsed entirely the 2 forms of entertainment learned to work together for the most part but the
I have since concluded that community engagement must be a part of every theatre-making process. In the professional world, I’m finding myself pushed to think about the audience more actively, and am so thankful for it — both as an artist and as a citizen. Now, as the Community Engagement Manager at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, CT, I am certain: community engagement is not just something that’s nice to do, tangential to the theatre-making process – it is essential to the creation of the art itself.
The Audience Agency (2011) suggests that the success of an event depends on how it defines its aims and objectives, and the audience perception is an important strand of evidence for the assessing. As the Shanghai Biennale is always exploring the ‘ultimate connection between urban life, contemporary art and the public’ (Shanghai Biennale, 2016), it should be evaluated by measuring whether it manages to connect and engage the public. Thus, it can be argued that the current research only interprets the biennale from the perspective of those who are producing or curating artistic works, rather than the visitor or the ‘audience’ of the biennale. Therefore, an alternative design calls for the participation of the visitors and attempts to see their behaviour during the events and how do they interact with, engage in, and interpret the Shanghai Biennale.
