The aim of the D'Art was to find senior executives in national arts councils and ministries of culture who are responsible for the coordination of policies, programs and initiatives that support major performing arts organisations in order to invite them to take part in the mini-summit in Australia in 2008 and to enlist their help in developing information resources for the mini-summit.

In addition to supplying contact details for the relevant senior executive, respondents were asked to provide the definition (if there was one) of major performing arts organisations used by their agency. Respondents were also asked to rank by order of importance a list of issues relating to the support of major performing arts organisations, and to identify any additional issues that they perceived to be important. This report summarises the responses.
