  • 288,000 of U.S. artists are painters or sculptors and craft artists.
  • The majority of adults have been moved or inspired by art: painting, drawing, or photograph (80%); reading a novel or short story (76%); seeing a play (66%); or seeing a dance performance (58%).

The vast majorities of exceptional artists are undiscovered and need to be connected to their public

Over 91% of all artists are completely undiscovered.

  • Although woman artists earn half of all Master’s of Fine Arts degrees, only a quarter of solo exhibitions in New York galleries feature women’s’ artwork, Women’s artwork makes up only 4% of all artwork exhibited in the Modern Art Section of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
  • 1.1% of all artists (i.e. “mainstream artists”) enjoy a disproportionately large percentage of web traffic, including 87.3% of Facebook page “likes” and 88.4% of artist Twitter followers.
  • 46% of people perceive the lives of artists to be more difficult than the lives of people outside the arts.
