Age and Arts Participation: 1982-1997
Based on the Survey of Public Participation in the Arts conducted
in 1982, 1992, and 1997, this study examines the aging of arts audiences
and the role that age plays in predicting arts attendance. This
report looks at trends in the average age of arts audiences and
follows the participation rates of birth cohorts (e.g., the "Great
Depression" cohort and early-baby boomers) across the survey years.
In addition, the study uses regression analysis to suggest that
age (in-and-of itself) is not the most important factor in determining
arts attendance. Among several economic and demographic variables
analyzed, education is the best predictor of arts participation.
