The survey focused on examining the relationship of the population of the Slovak Republic to visual and applied arts. The introductory question studied the intensity of interest in each type of art based on selected criteria. Respondents were then asked to state which of the three areas of visual and applied arts is the closest to them. The survey also examined the greatest stimulus of interest in visual arts, visits to the nearest facility presenting visual arts, and the overall frequency of attendance at visual arts exhibitions. Another set of questions measured literacy in visual arts. Respondents were given a list of significant visual arts events in Slovakia and were asked which of them they knew and attended. They were also instructed to name at least three book illustrators, match works of visual arts with their creators, and indicate which important buildings or galleries in Slovakia and abroad they have visited. The survey was carried out via a network of interviewers on a sample of 1131 respondents (the population of the Slovak Republic above 18 years of age) using the quota characteristics of gender, age, education, the size of the settlement, nationality, district and region as well as economic status, religious denomination, social class (upper, upper middle, middle, lower middle, lower class) and political orientation (left, right, middle, etc.).
