About the project
The aim of this study is to give a detailed description of the sector of amateur arts. On the basis of a population survey as well as a (web)survey of members of the amateur arts organisations, we get a clear image of the profile of the amateur artists. Besides a socio-demographic profile, we investigate the motives and ambitions, in which social context they practice their creative hobbies, how much time and money they spend, and their experienced thresholds.
The study makes also a comparison between the amateur artists and the people who do not have creative hobbies concerning their social network, their receptive cultural participation and engagement in associational life.
