Hosted by Leeds Metropolitan University in Association with Cultural Trends journal:
International concerns about levels of civic engagement in general and participation in the arts in particular have led to a growing body of statistical research into engagement in cultural activities. In the UK the government’s Taking Part survey, started in 2006, suggests that participation in the arts here is low by comparison with some other European countries and that social status and levels of education remain key factors in levels of engagement. However, despite policy makers setting targets to address this, rates of cultural engagement and participation appear to steadfastly refuse to increase.
Since 2009 Leeds Metropolitan University, with the support of Arts Council England, have been coordinating a Knowledge Exchange Network on participation and engagement in the arts in the North of England. This conference is the culmination of this work and will bring together international academics, policy makers and practitioners to share research and debate issues affecting the whole cultural sector.
