The table illustrates four reasons why UK adults have attended arts events for the past 20 years.
According to the table, 58% of UK adults attended art-related events out of a desire to see a performance by a particular artist. Despite the downturn in the last decade, by 3%, it remains to be the most common reason these days. In the meantime, there has been a dramatic drop for those who went to the event either because of special occasion or celebration, from 27% two decades ago to 9% today.
On the contrary, a similar pattern could be seen in both the percentage of grown-ups who showed up to the arts for accompanying children and business-related reasons. The former had a steady growth by 6% in the last ten years, increasing considerably to 24% at the present day; the latter also experienced an upturn of nearly doubling the figure of 6 through the twenty years.
Overall, the main reason why UK grown-ups went to the arts events is on account of seeing a specific performer, whereas other reasons changed over the last two decades with business trips to be the least opted.
