pdfOMB Control #: 3135‐0130
Expiration Date: 4/25/2014
Today, along with thousands of other Americans, you played an important role in the cultural life of
our country by attending an arts program.
The National Endowment for the Arts supports hundreds of arts performances, exhibitions and film
screenings every year, including the event you just attended.
Now, I invite your feedback.
Please complete this questionnaire when you get home, preferably within 24 hours.
Your responses will help the Endowment understand how audiences are impacted by the
performances, exhibitions and film screenings it funds.
You must be at least 18 years old to respond. Your answers are anonymous and confidential, so
please be as candid as possible.
Thank you.
