Past studies have focused primarily on the financial, economic, and tourism contributions of the nonprofit arts and
culture industry. AEP6 expands beyond those topics to include measures of social impact. Surveys completed by
individual attendees in the the City of Miami Beach demonstrate an appreciation for how the arts and culture
impacts the development and well-being of the community and its residents.
Audiences Demonstrate Appreciation for the Impact of Arts and Culture
Level of Agreement with Social Impact Statements Audiences
“This venue or facility is an important pillar for me within my community.” 81.9%
“I would feel a great sense of loss if this activity or venue were no longer available.” 87.5%
“This activity or venue is inspiring a sense of pride in this neighborhood or community.” 87.9%
“My attendance is my way of ensuring that this activity or venue is preserved for future generations” 88.5%
About This Study
Americans for the Arts conducted AEP6 to document the economic and social benefits of the nation’s nonprofit arts
and culture industry. The study was conducted in 373 diverse communities and regions across the country,
representing all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs joined the
study on behalf of the City of Miami Beach. For additional information including the national report, summaries
for the 373 communities, an online calculator, and a description of the project methodology, visit
www.AEP6.AmericansForTheArts.org.
Surveys of Nonprofit Arts and Culture Organizations
Nationally, detailed information was collected from 16,399 nonprofit arts and culture organizations about their
FY2022 expenditures (e.g., labor, local and non-local artists, operations, materials, facilities, and asset acquisition),
as well as their event attendance, in-kind contributions, and volunteerism. Surveys were collected from February
through July 2023. Some organizations only provided total expenditures and attendance (they are included in the
study). Responding organizations had budgets ranging from a low of $0 to a high of $375 million. Response rates
for the 373 communities averaged 43.9% and ranged from 5% to 100%. In the City of Miami Beach, 76 of the 76
total eligible nonprofit arts and culture organizations identified by the Miami-Dade County Department of
Cultural Affairs provided the financial and attendance information required for the study analysis—an
overall participation rate of 100.0%. It is important to note that each study region’s results are based solely on the
survey data collected. No estimates have been made to account for non-respondents. Therefore, the less-than-100
percent response rates suggest an understatement of the economic impact findings.
Surveys of Nonprofit Arts and Culture Audiences
Audience-intercept surveying, a common and accepted research method, was conducted to measure event-related
spending by audiences. Attendees were asked to complete a short survey while attending an event. Nationally, a
total of 224,677 attendees completed the survey. The randomly selected respondents provided itemized
expenditure data on attendance-related activities such as meals, souvenirs, transportation, and lodging, as well as
socioeconomic information, ZIP code of primary residence, and four social impact questions. Data was collected
from May 2022 through June 2023 at a broad range of both paid and free events. In the City of Miami Beach, a
total of 912 valid audience-intercept surveys were collected from attendees to nonprofit arts and culture
performances, events, exhibits, and special events during the period from May 2022 through June 2023.
Studying Economic Impact Using Input-Output Analysis
Americans for the Arts uses the IMPLAN platform to create the customized models for each of the 373 study
regions. Input-output models calculate the interdependencies between various sectors or industries within a region.
This analysis traces how many times a dollar is respent within the local economy before it leaks out, and it
quantifies the economic impact of each round of spending. This form of economic analysis is well suited for AEP
studies because it can be customized specifically to each participating community, region, or state. To complete
this analysis for the City of Miami Beach, the researchers used the IMPLAN platform to build a customized
input-output model based on the unique economic and industrial characteristics of Miami-Dade County.
Research Notes:
1 For the purpose of this study, local attendees live within Miami-Dade County; nonlocals live elsewhere.
