Distribution Disparity
|
Opportunities in the arts are not evenly distributed throughout the country, giving those living in certain areas disadvantages when it comes to arts education and the pursuit of an arts career.
Steady access to professional arts performances is not consistent. The map to the left shows major professional dance companies across the United States. Because there is no official database holding the names and locations of every company, the map is not all inclusive, but it paints a clear picture. There are areas of the country with plenty of access to professional dance performances--along the East Coast, Eastern Central US, and throughout California-- while there are other regions entirely lacking, or with extremely limited dance exposure.
