The Minneapolis Music Census is a community-led initiative to learn more about the needs of the music ecosystem in the city. The music census launched on April 12, 2024 and is the most extensive music survey of Minneapolis to date.
It's aim has been to gather important information about the music industry in Minneapolis to create policies and help the City and community make informed, data-driven decisions.
The survey was conducted by Sound Music Cities, a Texas based company specializing in music ecosystem research, in partnership with the Arts & Cultural Affairs Department (ACA) and local public and private organizations.
The results will be shared in three reports: Summary Report, Data Deck and a DEI report, all offering valuable insights to music professionals, venues, nonprofit groups, educators, government agencies, and music lovers who support Minneapolis’ live entertainment scene.
