Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) collects, analyzes, and shares data and research about the careers and creative lives of postsecondary arts and design graduates. SNAAP serves the dual purpose of providing institutional-level data to colleges and universities as well as being the best source of national survey data on postsecondary arts education, informing policymakers, administrators, scholars, journalists, and other stakeholders. SNAAP defines arts in a broad sense, to include art, architecture, design, media arts, film, music, theater, dance, and creative writing.
SNAAP’s national online survey was launched in 2008 to meet the growing need for reliable alumni outcomes data, as articulated by arts training institutions across the country. Since then, SNAAP has partnered with over 400 educational institutions from 49 states, the District of Columbia, and four Canadian provinces to survey over 300,000 arts alumni on their professional lives, educational experience, and personal fulfillment. SNAAP administers its national, large-scale online surveys once every five years.
This presentation will provide an overview of the findings from the most recent SNAAP survey administration in 2022, which reached alumni from the most diverse range of institutional types in SNAAP’s history, including public institutions, independent colleges of art and design, HBCUs, and community colleges. Gain insights from the survey on arts alumni’s educational experiences, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their careers, employment trends, and their sense of belonging during their education.
