While over one-third of adults went to an art museum, craft fair, or an arts performance last year, this number has declined from previous years. Participation rates are also down for all areas except photography. However, Americans are using the Internet very frequently to enjoy artworks and performances. These are some of the findings in the latest Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA) sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The entire series is archived at the Cultural Policy & the Arts National Data Archive (CPANDA) which is part of Princeton University Library’s Data and Statistical Services. More Information
