The Local Area Arts Participation Study 1992, sponsored by the Research Division of the National Endowment for the Arts, provides information about Americans' participation in the arts -- including ballet, opera, plays, museums, and concerts -- in 12 communities. A local sponsor in each community assisted in funding the research and helped to design sections of their local questionnaire. The study was intended to augment the 1992 national Survey of Public Participation in the Arts (SPPA), conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Each survey included three components: a "core questionnaire," common to all 12 sites, including arts participation and demographic information identical to the 1992 national SPPA; a set of questions, common to all sites but not included in the 1992 national SPPA, concerning facilities where arts participation occurred, reasons for not attending more often, and sources of information about arts events; and community-specific modules, developed by the local area partners to address specific information needs in each community. A total of 5040 respondents in 12 communities completed telephone interviews from February 12 through May 15, 1992. The 12 communities surveyed were Broward County, FL; Chicago, IL; Dade County, FL; Las Vegas, NV; Philadelphia, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Reno, NV; rural Nevada; San Jose, CA; Seattle, WA; Sedona, AZ; and Winston-Salem, NC.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR35586.v1
