1.Thanks to all of you who filled in the recent online Audience Data Collection survey. The survey was sent to Arts Council clients in receipt of annual funding. Almost 250 organisations responded to the survey and the results have given a snapshot of which organisations collect data about audiences and how. We will use the results to inform planning about future projects.

2. Arts Audiences and The Arts Council are hosting an afternoon workshop next Tuesday 24th August for those organisations who received grants to tour in 2010. The workshop is based around the “Guide to Marketing Your Production on Tour” on this site. Thanks are due to Jenny Traynor of Coisceim and others who will share their experience and expertise with others about to go out on the road.

3. Target Group Index. Release of information

We were hoping to release the second tranche of information drawn from TGI at the end of July, but this will now be the end of August. A few things have conspired to delay the release but it will definitely be there by the end of the month. Also the new full dataset based on the survey carried out in autumn 09/spring 10 will be available in September and a new report will compare the 08/09 results with the new. Thank you for your patience.

Are you looking to bring your organisation’s online performance to a new level?

Looking to harness the power applications such as Facebook, YouTube, Google Analytics, WordPress & Twitter to better engage with your audiences?

Would you like expert guidance to assist you along the way?

Arts Audiences is pleased to announce details of the New Media Mentoring Scheme, in which experts from a variety of organisations offer their time, for free, to mentor arts organisations seeking to build relationships with new and existing audiences online.

Individuals from 6 organisations will be mentored in this scheme (RTÉ Publishing kindly offering to provide mentoring to three), and participating organisations will produce case studies at the end of the mentoring, to share lessons learnt with the wider arts community.
