The Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) shows that arts and cultural economic activity, adjusted for inflation, decreased 6.4 percent in 2020 after increasing 3.4 percent in 2019. Arts and cultural economic activity accounted for 4.2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), or $876.7 billion, in 2020.

Real Value Added for ACPSA Compared with US GDP

Core arts and cultural production industries, which includes performing arts, museums, design services, fine arts education, and education services, decreased 20.6 percent, adjusted for inflation, in 2020. Supporting arts and cultural production industries, which includes art support services and information services, decreased 1.9 percent in 2020.

COVID-19 Impact on the 2020 Arts and Cultural Production Statistics Arts and cultural production estimates were impacted by the response to the spread of COVID-19, as governments issued and lifted “stay-at-home” orders. This led to rapid changes in demand as consumers canceled, restricted, or redirected their spending. The U.S. government passed several laws to support and sustain businesses and individuals through the pandemic. The full economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be quantified in the arts and cultural production estimates for 2020, because the impacts are generally embedded in source data and cannot be separately identified

  • For performing arts, real value added decreased 37.9 percent in 2020 after increasing 3.2 percent in 2019. The leading contributor to the decrease was promoters of performing arts and similar events, which decreased 72.8 percent in 2020 after increasing 2.1 percent in 2019.
  • Museums decreased 22.0 percent in 2020 after decreasing 3.6 percent in 2019.
  • Design services decreased 6.4 percent in 2020 after increasing 5.1 percent in 2019.

  • Education services decreased 4.2 percent in 2020 after increasing 2.3 percent in 2019.
