A group of organisations in Manchester have signed up for the Quality Metrics Pilot, a project exploring ways to capture the quality and reach of arts and cultural productions. During a trial period at the end of this year, these organisations will test an app that allows audiences to rate their experience.
The aim of the project, which is supported by Arts Council England and The Audience Agency, is to form the basis of a method of providing an account of quality that can be used by funders and the arts and culture sector, to tell a richer story about the value of arts and culture.
Trials of the Quality Metrics software will take place across Manchester venues in December, with the aim of producing a report on their findings early next year. If the metrics framework works in practice, the next step will be for it to be trialled on a national scale.
To see a list of the venues that will be participating, see the external link below.
