AUSTRALIANS TURN TO ARTS & CULTURE

    Australia Council for the Arts
The 2022 National Arts Participation Survey has reinforced how important arts, culture and creativity are for improving wellbeing.

The results show nearly all Australians (97 per cent) engaged in arts and culture in some form in 2022, while 84 per cent acknowledged that arts and creativity have positive impacts for individuals, communities, and the economy, and 68 per cent attended live events and festivals.

More than half of all Australians acknowledged the benefits of arts and creativity to personal wellbeing (56 per cent in both years). However, the 2022 results show that there has been a strong rise in people acting on that belief.

There has been a substantial increase in those who are attending arts and cultural events to improve their wellbeing. A third of all Australians reported this motivation in 2022, up from a quarter in 2019.
