  • How have the arts, culture, and/or humanities impacted your life?
    • I enjoy traveling and experiencing new things and exploring. The arts and history are what makes travel enjoyable to me
  • Utah's humanities and arts employ 123,000 Utahns, provide $4.4 billion in earnings, and $13.2 billion in sales. This is a larger economic impact than agriculture, mining, and real estate. Do you consider the arts and cultural sector an economic driver in Utah?
    • No
