Geography and Participation in the Arts and Culture: A Research Monograph Based on the 1997 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (Research Division Report)

Based on the 1997 survey of Public Participation in the Arts, this monograph highlights the level of participation in the arts by baby boomers. Using seven benchmark arts (classical music, opera, jazz, musical theatre, theatre, art museums, and ballet), the authors interpret the difference in participation levels by age. The authors postulate reasons for a decline in participation by boomers and provide theories on future trends for this aging segment of the population.Richard Peterson is the author of 'Geography and Participation in the Arts and Culture: A Research Monograph Based on the 1997 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (Research Division Report)' with ISBN 9780929765877 and ISBN 0929765877.
