Based on the Institute’s National Social Survey, and produced with the support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Nathan Cummings Foundation, this report probes new issues and looks at changes in participation since the Institute’s previous report in 2002. The new report shows that Americans value the arts both in their own lives and in the lives of their children. Yet participation levels have declined slightly since the last survey, both for adults and for children. The difference in participation by income level also remains a serious problem.
