Surveying the conditions of arts organisers

The organiser level is important in terms of creating jobs for artists and is of great significance for the arts reaching the entire country. It is a key link in the chain from artist to audience and includes music organisers, art galleries, dance theatres, theatre associations and literary festivals. It may be noted that the need for intermediaries and the organiser level in the arts has increased. The issue has become particularly relevant in light of the discussion surrounding the closure of theatres hosting live performances in Swedish towns and cities. In 2020, the Swedish Arts Council has been tasked by the Government with following up and surveying the conditions of organisers within all art forms.
