i recently heard of a study being released (in Minneapolis, specific
to this
area, i think) which was conducted based on the questions you ask-
which
centered around how to get more lower-income people into arts-related
events, and making them accessible (with regard to the stigma of
classical
music for non-experts, say). it was sometime in the last year, to
possibly the
last 6 months that this study was released. issues about the cost of
tickets,
'free' days, and other incentives were explored. i believe it also
stated that
_more people went to arts-events than all sporting events combined.
