Arts Basic Survey, United States, 2020

The February 2020 Arts Benchmarking Survey questions were asked of the CPS respondent and spouse as well as another randomly selected household member aged 18 or older and his/her spouse. About half of the sampled households were asked the supplement questions. Interview numbers 2, 3, 6, and 7 were asked the supplement questions. If the selected person had a spouse or partner then questions were also asked of the spouse/partner. The supplement contained questions about the sampled member's participation in various artistic activities from February 2019 through February 2020. Questions were asked about the use of pottery, ceramics, jewelry, leatherwork, metalwork and woodwork. They were also asked about weaving, crocheting, needlepoint, knitting, sewing, and whether they played a musical instrument. Questions also included doing any acting, singing or dance. Supplement interviews were conducted during the period of February 16-23, 2020.
