The picture is different when you look at the number of US adults who actually perform or create art. Each activity has experienced a reduced percentage of the population performing or creating art with the exception of music composition. The absolute number of people involved in creating or performing has also fallen except for composing muxid and writing (poetry, novels, plays and short stories).
