The megatrends, identified by CSIRO trend analyst Stefan Hajkowicz, are a major shift in the cultural, economic, social, environmental and technological milieu that are expected to radically change the context of everything we do over the next 20 years.
Some of the trends go to the very nature of why people go to museums, galleries or arts events. They raise the possibility that museums, galleries and theatres could replace shops as the ‘third place’ where people congregate. Others will change the processes by which our organisations operate and the subjects on which we focus.
