The key questions answered by this monograph are: Who participates in arts and culture, why, how often, in what forms, and where? What distinguishes the analysis of cultural participation presented here from others is that the people surveyed were asked about their attendance at any live presentation of music, dance, drama, or visual art, without limiting the definition of these art forms to conventional categories.
