2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts

For more than a quarter-century, however, the National Endowment for the Arts has conducted a periodic
Survey of Public Participation in the Arts to track adults’ reported levels of arts engagement.

The most recent survey occurred in May 2008, in partnership with the United States Census Bureau. This report
contains detailed findings from the 2008 survey, but it reviews them alongside data from prior survey years.
