The Mohn Westlake Foundation is partnering with New Philanthropy Capital to conduct new research into how to better engage young people with the arts and culture.

The research is being conducted by New Philanthropy Capital in consultation with young people and sector experts from a range of arts charities and funders. The study will examine why it can be difficult for young people to engage with arts organisations and propose a framework to help organisations working to overcome these barriers.

The work is based on an extensive literature review, workshops and interviews with arts organisations, as well as focus groups and interviews with young people.

The Mohn Westlake Foundation is committed to supporting organisations that are engaging more young people in arts and culture. Funding this research will help inform The Mohn Westlake Foundation’s own work, and share best practice across the sector.
