When mapping audience reach, there is currently a disproportionate emphasis on counting exhibition visitors. However, the public at presentation and development institutions engages in many more activities than just visiting exhibitions: they participate in workshops, make their own art or an exhibition, listen to podcasts, borrow a work of art, participate in discussions during a knowledge session, etc. This makes the public far from always being (only) visitors, but also creators, users, listeners, readers, supporters, students. Surely we should include that under audience reach?
Figures are certainly of value in saying something about the extent of audience reach.But that audience figures do not say everything and should not be seen as the indicator of success seems to be a widely held view in the cultural sector. However, actually changing this is easier said than done. MOKER / P_Oi, the platform for presentation and development institutions in Amsterdam, has therefore started looking for a better method of reporting on audience reach that does justice to the reality and size of the types of organizations in the midfield and that actually says, means and delivers something.
During this symposium, the handbook “Ditisonspubliek.nl” will be presented and we will discuss bottlenecks and practical applicability.
