Summary:

Abstract:

The author looks at family influences on arts patronage using the results of 91 surveys form a study administered in 1981 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This study focuses primarily on aspects of family influence and family sponsored childhood activities (i.e. music or dance lessons). Family influences may be central to the formation of art consumption patterns. Two particular findings from from this study are consistent with previous research findings on art patronage. First, length of residence in a city appears to have a positive influence on season ticket subscription behavior. Second, a variety of childhood arts activities and exposure to the arts seems to produce a more active adult art patron.
