What is this about?
This data is collected using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (JOLS), which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey. Its purpose is to track participation in cultural activities, so respondents are asked how often they have taken part in a range of different cultural activities, such as drama, dance, singing, reading, crafts, in the last 12 months.
In 2022, 19% of adults in Jersey had actively participated in some form of cultural activity. Arts or craft (painting, drawing and photography) was the most common actitvity (9%), followed by playing musical instruments or singing (7%).
The JOLS question used to obtain this data has only been asked once to-date, but going forward will be asked on a regular basis in order to establish a trend over time.
