Projects
With funding from the Australia Council and the Ian Potter Foundation, Professor Glow and other members of the Deakin research team are investigating the organisational change required for arts/cultural organisations to diversify the social profile of their audiences. Despite policy and programming initiatives, spanning a number of decades, audiences for the arts remain predominantly white, female, able, middle-class and middle aged. Our research interrogates the nature and extent of the problem, and the processes of organisational change and innovation that will help to address this particularly intractable problem for arts/cultural sector organisations.
