BASA’s biannual research tracking of consumer engagement in the arts, and perceptions of the arts and its sponsors.
BASA has a raft of research documents drawn from our biannual ArtsTrack Research, the BASA Supporting Grants programme, the BASA Awards, our other arts-based initiatives, and ad-hoc research projects. This data provides crucial insights into best practice, and shifts and trends – all of which are being used to inform the next generation of arts-business partnerships and to create opportunities, underlining BASA’s value to government, business and the arts sector.

BASA ASSEMBLY
The programme for the inaugural BASA ASSEMBLY was curated to catalyse deeper conversations around the social impact of the arts, to analyse the degree to which the creative sector and cultural institutions have (or have not) been agile, responsive or resilient to the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, and to contemplate the future of the creative economy. Anchoring the engagement was the launch of ArtsTrack No 9. partnered by BMi.
