What was studied
A National Endowment for the Arts report and tables based on the 2022 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts.
What it contributes
Weighted estimates describe several forms of arts engagement across states.
Where the evidence stops
Sampling uncertainty and the survey’s modular design matter when comparing figures. Broad arts measures do not count community bands, identify active organizations or explain local barriers.
