Fact of the Week #192

Fact of the Week #192: Technology and social media have also altered people's expectations of where, when and how artistic experiences will happen, and increased people's desire for both passive and participatory options.  Platforms like YouTube (now posting more than 60 hours of video every hour, watched by more than 800 million unique viewers each month) and Instagram have vastly increased the amount of creative content available, much of it user generated. www.arts.gov
