INTRODUCTION
Australians' involvement in heritage and the arts can take many forms. Involvement can include creative pursuits such as painting, acting or playing a musical instrument. Involvement can also cover the enjoyment one gains through experiencing the creative or artistic works of others such as seeing a movie, or visiting a museum or art gallery.
This chapter provides information on Australians' cultural pursuits - the time they spend on particular leisure activities, the cultural venues and events they like to attend and some of the creative hobbies in which they are involved. The focus of this chapter is on less formal involvement in heritage and the arts.
Information on people who are paid or do voluntary work for cultural organisations or produce cultural works for public display are the subject of Chapter 5 of this publication.
