Abstract (CPANDA): This data set offers information on Americans' participation in the arts, including ballet, opera, plays, museums, and concerts, from 1982 to 2008. Respondents were asked a core set of questions about their participation in, and frequency of attending, art performances and events in the following categories: jazz music, classical music, opera, musicals, plays (nonmusical), ballet, other dance, art museums, arts-crafts fairs, and historical park/monument sites.

Methodology (CPANDA) : The sample was selected using a stratified multi-stage design and drawn from Census Bureau population counts. All non-institutionalized adults living in the U.S. were eligible. Rather than attempt to interview all adults in the household, the 2008 SPPA randomly sampled adults in selected households, and accespted proxy responses for spouses or partners. The Current Population Survey is an on-going national household sample survey of about 60,000 eligible households every month.
