US ARTISTS REPORT
This site contains information from the Investing in Creativity study, a national research initiative about the various factors that enable artists to pursue their careers — artists’ support programs, policy initiatives, and characteristics of place, among other issues. The study was conducted by the Urban Institute with support from 38 public- and private-sector funders. It also includes links to related research projects and initiatives.
