National Endowment for the Arts Announces New
Artists In The Workforce Study

The NEA study looked at Artist trends for the years 1990 - 2005. This is the first ever study of working trends for Artist of all levels. The report profiles 11 artist occupations, including actors; announcers; architects; art directors, fine artists and animators; dancers and choreographers; designers; entertainers and performers; musicians; photographers; producers and directors; writers and authors.

“Artists now play a huge but mostly unrecognized role in the new American economy of the 21st century,” said NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. “This report shows how important American artists are to both our nation’s cultural vitality and economic prosperity of our communities.”
