Research shows that young people's attendance at places such as
theatres, concert halls, galleries and museums declines as they
progress through their teens. They may, indeed, experience only a
fleeting acquaintance with cultural venues of this kind and then
cease to visit them altogether - not necessarily because of a
dislike of particular art forms but because these cultural venues
and what they have to offer do not appear to be relevant to them.
As a result of such assumptions and subsequent lack of involvement,
young people may be denied the possibility of informed choice. How
can venues, schools and others help young people to consider a
wider spectrum of cultural experiences? 'Crossing the Line' has
been commissioned by the Gulbenkian Foundation and Arts Council
England to consider this problem. It reviews the evidence and
includes important new research which asks young people what they
think; looks at different types of initiatives concerned with this
issue and highlights the questions that the various sectors may
wish to ask themselves - for example, how cultural venues can make
themselves more accessible to teenagers and the possibility of some
young people serving as 'cultural mentors' to their peers.
