Arts Participants
Domain B: Arts Participation describes participants in the arts, including the type of activities they pursue and their time use and spending habits. This domain includes indicators on people who attend arts events (consumption) and those who personally create or perform artworks.
For more information on Domain B, view our infographic and access short papers and data for each indicator below. New indicators and updated statistics for current indicators will be released as data become available.
