About
Novalis was founded with the vision of providing leading analytical solutions tailored to the study of performing arts practices. We engage in rigorous research to the serve development of the international arts sector, bringing key insights to audience engagement, business structures and growth opportunities. Our work produces research papers, analytical tools and engages arts companies on current and prospective challenges faced by the sector.
Our Vision
We believe the arts bring a positive impact on social life, contributing to public engagement in cultural and educational activities, maintaining employment forces and providing sources of revenue to domestic markets. With the significant development of media delivery in the recent decade, performing arts practices face singular challenges in engaging with their audience and sustaining their business operations. Our goal is to ensure the appropriate understanding is provided for the sustained development of the sector through our engagement with artistic companies, funding bodies and government agencies.
Our Methods
The Novalis reseach team provides a rigorous approch to the analytical study of the arts sector, developing structured methodologies around sectoral metrics and key areas of development. Our team is comprised of leading international researchers with a long-standing expertise in academic study, corporate investment and public policy. We develop innovative ways in the approach of arts data and metrics, ensuring a rigorous understanding of sectoral structures and dynamics.
