Research Findings & Workshop Opportunities

Manitobans for the Arts has done the most comprehensive survey of arts audiences in the province, and we want to share it with you.

We asked Probe Research to poll more than 1,100 Manitobans to understand how they’re engaging with the arts these days and what might nudge them to buy an extra ticket or spend an afternoon at the museum or gallery.

Manitobans for the Arts commissioned this research to support you, to give you some data and tools to help you make better marketing and programming decisions and to bring your work to new audiences. This is the kind of market research most arts groups can’t afford on their own, but that can be a powerful guide forward after a confusing couple of years.

Want to know more? Want to know what to actually DO with this data? Manitobans for the Arts is hosting four sector-specific workshops in March to help you translate the data into action to reach new audiences.
