What was studied
A National Endowment for the Arts brief using weighted Household Pulse Survey data collected across four spring and summer 2024 cycles.
What it contributes
The brief describes relationships between arts engagement and measures of social connection, with demographic comparisons.
Where the evidence stops
These are associations across broad arts activities. Low response and survey design affect interpretation. The data do not isolate community bands or show that participation caused greater connection.
