CTH Presents Broad Population Survey Findings
Thursday, March 23 at 3 p.m.

In Spring 2022, Wilkening Consulting, CT Humanities, and the CT Office of the Arts surveyed more than 1,000 Connecticut adult residents to learn more about who in Connecticut engages with the arts, culture, and humanities, what motivates them to do so, and the perceived impact and value of the arts, culture, and humanities in our state.
 
Join Susie Wilkening from Wilkening Consulting and Scott Wands from CT Humanities to see what the survey revealed and how cultural organizations can use the findings.
 
Learn more and register for the Zoom info session. For more information on the data that CTH has collected about the CT cultural sector, visit our website.
