Research: Public Opinion Surveys

In 2005, Riley Research Associates conducted a scientific survey among likely voters in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. RACC’s goal in 2005 was to measure top of mind awareness of arts and culture, learn more about the region’s arts and culture consumption patterns, and understand the public’s perceptions about the role of the arts in building communities and supporting education. The findings from that 2005 survey are available here.

In March 2008, Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates conducted a new regional survey to further assess the public’s level of engagement in the arts, and the extent to which voters might support proposals that provide stable, ongoing funding for arts and cultural activities. A summary of their findings can be downloaded here.
