Survey responses will help inform a report on opportunities to strengthen the MPA Framework, which will be provided to the Meeting of Cultural Ministers later this year.
The Major Performing Arts companies employ approximately 10,500 people and reach about four million people through performances, school activities and workshops each year.

The survey closes at 5pm 9th August. Access the survey here
