Nearly six in 10 Poles miss cultural events: report

As many as 59 percent of Poles feel the lack of cultural events due to the ongoing pandemic, two-third of the respondents declare that they will go to the cinema when they get the opportunity and half of the interviewees state they will willingly go to some concert, according to the ARC Rynek i Opinia report entitled “Sponsorship Monitor, May-June 2020.”

Going to the cinema or to a concert is the most desirable among Poles who miss sport events, matches or going out to the theater less often.

During the pandemic, artists stood out in the high activity on the Internet: they recorded music, engaged in financial collections for the fight against coronavirus, exhibited art. Half of the respondents (51 percent) appreciated these efforts.

By far the most popular way to get in touch with culture during the pandemic was reading books (50 percent) and watching movies and series on online streaming platforms (41 percent). Every fifth respondent declares that they watched live broadcasts by the creators. 14 percent of Poles virtually visited museums.
