Here are some useful sources for data on the arts:
Economic Data
Americans for the Arts – Arts and Economic Prosperity Study 6
The newly released Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6) is an economic and social impact study of the nation’s nonprofit arts and culture industry. This study worked with individual communities across the United States to survey organizations and audiences and develop an economic impact model for each community. Those were then rolled up to the state and national level resulting in a robust study on the economic impact of the arts in 2022.
