Survey Purpose

This survey is designed to learn about the lives and livelihoods of people who may engage in artistic activities across the United States. Survey questions ask about artistic activities you may do, as well as about your work, how you support yourself, and your overall well-being. 

After the survey closes, we’ll release a report highlighting findings, key learnings, and takeaways for the public. Additionally, fully anonymous survey data will be made publicly available, which will allow anyone to use it for non-commercial purposes to explore questions they are curious about. 

Survey Partners

This survey is fielded by the nonprofit research organization NORC at the University of Chicago in partnership with the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP), and is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
