The South Carolina state survey is a cost-shared random probability survey of citizens age eighteen and older living in the State of South Carolina that is conducted biannually by the University of South Carolina's Institute for Public Service and Policy Research. Included in this survey were items on whether respondents had participated in the arts in the past year, including donating to the arts and purchasing original art; ratings of their community as a place to pursue artistic activities, the importance of arts events to the community, and their importance in education, and the most important benefit of arts; and support for government funding for the arts in general and for education. This report provides a summary of the findings for this survey.
