Get Recharged! In this episode, Lucy Costello talks about The Arts & Culture Collective - a Ticketsolve initiative - that explores the main challenges facing arts organisations. She takes us through what they have learnt so far.

The initiative looked to understand how the arts and culture industry uses data in times of great uncertainty, and how data helps to inform innovative practices. The aim is to see how these practices can lead to greater sustainability throughout the sector.

Lucy reveals how challenges such as fundraising, changing tastes, relevance, leadership, diversity and technology have shifted from 2016, through the pandemic to now. And how the Arts and Culture Collective, questioned really questioned their data, their data practices and what they really wanted and needed data for to help make positive organisational changes that stick.

This is part one of a two part series, in the second part, you will hear from the participants of the study and hear, in their own words, their experiences and insights around data, data driven organisations and decision making.

A big thank you to the Irish Research Council for their collaboration!
