520 a| This study of the role that the arts play in the lives of the American people is the fourth survey conducted by the Harris organization on this subject since 1973. It was commissioned by Philip Morris, Inc., who also sponsored the previous study in 1980. This study was designed both as an update of significant substantive areas covered in previous surveys and as an examination of important new areas of concern to the arts. At the time this study was conducted, the economy was in a robust recovery after a sustained recession that overtook the country during 1981 and 1982. During this period, the arts community had been under financial pressure to sustain the previous levels of funding from local, state, county, and federal governments. Given the developments since 1980, it is highly important to know precisely where the arts stand with the American people. This in-depth survey, conducted by telephone among 1,504 adult Americans in March of 1984, provides just such definitive data. Throughout the text, notations in the margins refer to tables in Appendix A. "Heavy attenders" of theater, opera or musical theater, dance, popular music, and classical music performances have attended those kinds of events at least four times in the past twelve months; "heavy attenders" of art museums have made four or more visits, while "heavy attenders" of museums in general have made at least six visits to museums in the past year.;

Abstract	This study of the role that the arts play in the lives of the American people is the fourth survey conducted by the Harris organization on this subject since 1973. It was commissioned by Philip Morris, Inc., who also sponsored the previous study in 1980. This study was designed both as an update of significant substantive areas covered in previous surveys and as an examination of important new areas of concern to the arts. At the time this study was conducted, the economy was in a robust recovery after a sustained recession that overtook the country during 1981 and 1982. During this period, the arts community had been under financial pressure to sustain the previous levels of funding from local, state, county, and federal governments. Given the developments since 1980, it is highly important to know precisely where the arts stand with the American people. This in-depth survey, conducted by telephone among 1,504 adult Americans in March of 1984, provides just such definitive data. Throughout the text, notations in the margins refer to tables in Appendix A.
