ARTS RESEARCH
Americans for the Arts - Social Impact Explorer
A fun, fact-filled tool for exploring thirty-nine different domains in which artists make an impact, from civic dialogue and public welfare to housing, technology, and the environment. Lots of surprises here!
Seeing Visual Artists
In 2021, with the support of the Andy Warhol Foundation, I conducted the first city-wide research project to examine the conditions of artists’ lives in the pandemic. This paper synthesizes data from Portland’s visual artists with research on art, culture, and economics to explore complex interactions within an art ecosystem.
Understanding the Value of Arts and Culture
The AHRC Cultural Value Project is another valuable compendium of research that illuminates the vital effects that artists’ labor has on their communities.
