Arts policy research

Arts RiPPA is an arts and cultural policy research digest that profiles the range of current and planned research activity in Australia.

Launch of 22nd edition of Arts RiPPA

The Australia Council Research Centre is pleased to launch the 22nd edition of Arts RiPPA.

The 22nd edition has a brand new design, and includes 66 research projects which are in progress, planned or completed across Australia. We would like to thank all the contributors for submitting their projects and making this the most successful edition yet!

First produced in 1989 as Arts Research in Progress (ARIP), this digest has profiled hundreds of research projects over 15 years. The 22nd edition of Arts RiPPA has been compiled by the Australia Council for the Arts based on information provided by cultural policy researchers from across Australia.

Australian arts and cultural policy research investigates contemporary policy issues and trends in the cultural sector, providing information, analysis and insight to help drive policy and planning. With Arts RiPPA the Australia Council for the Arts aims to improve the information flow between policymakers and researchers, building the profile of arts and cultural policy research in Australia and beyond.

The focus is on qualitative and quantitative research into arts audiences and participants, as well as analytical research into creative industry development, arts impacts, infrastructure support for artists and regulatory and policy instruments. Arts RiPPA does not include historical or technical research or issues concerned with current arts practice or cultural theory.

We would like to invite you to give feedback and suggestions on the latest edition. To update your entry or submit a new project, please submit your entry online using the form attached, or contact us for an entry form.
