It's good to see promising attendance and ticket revenue figures in 2023 from Live Performance Australia. LPA's Evelyn Richardson said: ‘Despite cost of living pressures, Australians continued to strongly support live performance. It’s clear they value engagement with all categories of live performance, from ballet and dance, classical music and comedy through to musicals, theatre and festivals as well as tours by their favourite Australian and international acts.'
However, she tempered that with words of warning about the future of our arts sector: ‘... behind the headline figures there continues to be real pressures on many of our performing arts organisations. It’s essential that governments at all levels recognise the cultural, social and economic importance of our live arts and entertainment industry and continue to invest in Australia’s creative capability and potential.'
At Giving Culture, we also think the corporate sector can do a lot more too! As Evelyn puts it, the performance industry enriches 'Australia’s social and economic life': https://lnkd.in/gDa46JJD
