Thank you for your interest in helping the Frist Art Museum measure our impact in our community. The Frist is one of forty institutions including zoos, botanical gardens, history museums, and art museums from across the country participating in this research.
This study will measure the impact cultural organizations have on visitors across several metrics, including the ability to engage in lifelong learning, increased connection with friends and family, and even improved health outcomes.
