Culture Track, the nation’s largest tracking study of cultural audiences, is back in 2017 with a brand new report detailing the attitudes, motivators, and barriers of cultural consumers.

About Culture Track:
Culture Track is a cultural innovation engine, dedicated to addressing the most pressing challenges facing the worlds of culture and creativity through research, education, dialogue, and action. We believe that studying and tracking the shifting patterns of audience behavior is critical to shaping the future of culture. Our nationwide study is an investigation of the behaviors, needs, and opinions of cultural consumers, illuminating not only the participation patterns of these audiences, but why they think and behave the way they do. Fielded since 2001 by LaPlaca Cohen, the survey provides a rigorous and nuanced understanding of cultural consumers of all types. Learn more about Culture Track at WWW.CULTURETRACK.COM.
