NEA Director of Research & Analysis Sunil Iyengar and Research Analyst Bonnie Nichols will present the new NEA research Time and Money: Using Federal Data to Measure the Value of Performing Arts Activities. Time and Money looks at the value of the arts in three ways: time spent on arts activities; organizational revenue and expenses; and direct consumer spending. A particular focus on performing arts data provides consistency across these three measurements. The 20-minute presentation will be followed by a question and answer period.

Go to our website for more information on the study and to download the PDF.
