About Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account
The Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account is produced through the partnership between the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Built with the BEA's input-output (I-O) accounts, the ACPSA provides detailed statistics that illustrate the annual economic impact of arts and cultural production on the U.S. economy from 35 industries, both commercial and nonprofit, ranging from architectural services to sound recording. The ACPSA state-level employment data table contains annual employment and compensation estimates for each state by industry and comparisons with ACPSA employment and compensation by industry for the same year. It also includes the annual total of employment in each state across the arts and cultural commodities industries.
National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture
The National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture (NADAC) is a repository that facilitates research on arts and culture by acquiring data, particularly those funded by federal agencies and other organizations, and sharing those data with researchers, policymakers, people in the arts and culture field, and the general public. It is one of several topical archives hosted by ICPSR, the largest social science data archive in the world and part of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. NADAC is funded by the NEA. Thanks to the support from the NEA, users can obtain data from NADAC completely free of charge.
