| dc.description.abstract | Portland is a great place for people who love art and culture. But what about the artists who reside in the metro area, is it a supportive place for them to live and work? The purpose of this study was to answer two questions: Who are the visual artists in Portland, and how have they been affected by the pandemic? The information collected from the survey concerns only visual artists, but it can be inferred that some of the quantitative and qualitative data would also be applicable to dancers, performance and sound artists, writers, musicians, and other creative workers. In seeking to create a comprehensive picture, this report connects the data from the survey to related issues that sometimes extend beyond the boundaries of the metropolitan area and, in some cases, beyond the category of “artist.” Many social factors—such as gender, race, and household income—are at play in artists’ lives. The survey respondents’ quantitative and qualitative answers point to complex interactions between pre-pandemic structures that existed within the regional arts ecosystem and also in Portland’s general ecology. | en_US |
