The research found that 90% of under 35s attended an arts event in 2025, while almost 60% of this age group took part in the arts themselves. These figures show that younger adults are not only audiences, but active participants and creators. They point to a generation that sees the arts as part of everyday life and are shaping Ireland’s future cultural landscape.
