Join our national research on performing arts business models    The National Theatre is conducting a major new piece of research on the business models currently used by performing arts organisations. We hope the research will uncover the challenges, opportunities and support needs for performing arts organisations at this important moment; and that it will help to inform future policy and funding.  We would love your performing arts organisation to be part of the research. You can do this by completing this survey about your business model. https://lnkd.in/ea-iD-Xf Please complete the survey by 13th September 2024. By taking part, you will help our researchers to fully understand the many and diverse approaches across the performing arts, and you will help us to make recommendations that benefit everyone. At the National Theatre, we understand that performing arts organisations have complex business models featuring diverse public and private income sources. Over the last decade, we – like many arts organisations around the UK – have developed our programmes and income streams to better achieve our mission, to overcome the challenges of increasing costs and reduced public funding, to increase impact for communities around the UK, and to take advantage of new technologies. In the early days of a new government, facing a challenging financial situation, we believe it is more important than ever that we engage with policy makers about how arts organisations work, so they can support the sector to thrive, and deploy funding where it has most impact.
