On March 13th, 2020, federal authorities declared a national emergency due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For the next questions, please consider March 2020 to March 2021 as the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following question is about arts activities you may be doing now.
Compared to the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 to March 2021), are you now attending in-person live arts events more often, at the same rate, less often, or are you not attending in-person live arts at all? (This may include music, theater, or dance performances.)
NOTE: This variable originates on the NEA follow-on, and should not be analyzed without the NEA-specific weights WTSSPS_NEA or WTSSNRPS_NEA
Do you now attend live arts events more or less often than in the first COVID year?
