Untapped Opportunity: Older Americans & the Arts
This special report is a collaboration between LaPlaca Cohen and Slover Linett Audience Research, graciously supported by our generous funder, E.A. Michelson Philanthropy. Our findings are focused on the U.S. population aged 55 and over, and we aim to shed light on older generations’ distinct preferences and behaviors to provide relevant insights for cultural engagement.
Black Voices for the Evolution of Culture & Creativity
In an effort to celebrate and learn from Black experiences that have long been undervalued by our society, we embarked on a qualitative investigation of the role of creativity, joy, belonging, and connection in the lives of Black and African American adults around the nation. With this report, we aim to prompt inclusive transformation of the arts sector toward a future in which Black voices are not only heard, but also valued and central to shaping the future of culture.
Culture + Community in a Time of Transformation
“Culture + Community in a Time of Transformation” is a national research and strategy initiative intended to support the cultural sector and help strengthen communities around the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.
