DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) -
The National Endowment for the Arts has awarded the University of Dayton one of the first research grants given by the organization on the value and impact of the arts on the economic well-being of communities.
Donald Polzella, a psychology professor who now serves as associate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences, said the $10,000 one-year grant will fund a statistical analysis of the relationship between engagement in the arts and quality of life.
For the study, psychology professor Polzella, and Jeremy Forbis, assistant professor of sociology, will analyze data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey and its Survey of Public Participation in the Arts.
It's the first time the NEA has funded research projects to look at the impact of the arts on economic development, the health and viability of arts organizations and how engagement in the arts might affect individuals and communities in areas such as mental health and community development.
