ARTS & ECONOMIC PROSPERITY 6
A Project of Americans for the Arts
We are excited to partner with Americans for the Arts to take part in Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6), the sixth national study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry.
The study was created to gauge the spending by nonprofit arts and culture organizations and the event-related spending by their audiences.
Local and state research partners continue to collect audience-intercept surveys from attendees to in-person arts and culture events taking place in their community.
This process will continue for 12 months, from May 2022 through April 2023.
Thank you for your support of the arts and culture community!
