The STP&A 2026 Conference brings together arts and culture professionals, researchers, practitioners, and leaders to explore emerging research, industry trends, and strategies for strengthening arts participation and engagement.
SSRS is proud to participate in this year’s conference. Kristen Purcell, Executive Vice President will present:
Arts Participation in an Uncertain Economy
10:45am EST
This presentation explores live arts attendance during a period of economic uncertainty using data from a survey of 25,000 U.S. adults conducted on the SSRS Opinion Panel. Findings highlight national participation trends alongside insights from smaller demographic groups and geographic areas that are often beyond the reach of smaller surveys.
Jessica Roden contributed as co-author of the research and presentation.
