Welcome

The Princeton University Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies was created to improve the clarity, accuracy and sophistication of discourse about the nation's artistic and cultural life. Its programs and activities are designed to create an infrastructure of well-trained scholars who have access to regularly collected information about cultural organizations, activities and providers and who produce timely research and analysis on key topics in arts and cultural policy.

QUICK FACTS: Formerly located on CPANDA's website, Quick Facts is a valuable tool for research and statistics on topics including artists and performers, funding issues, public attitudes, arts education, and arts organizations.
