Artist Recession Survey
|
Is the recession over for you, or still going strong?
Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC) wants to make sure the conditions artists are facing in the current economic climate are being heard and addressed. LINC is a ten-year national initiative to improve the conditions for artists working in all disciplines.
LINC, in partnership with Helicon Collaborative, has developed the Artists and the Economic Recession Survey to invite artists to share their current experience. This survey will provide hard data for all of us who believe that arts and culture are important so that we can achieve the changes in policy, funding, and information dissemination necessary to improve the working lives of artists nationwide.
This survey is being conducted by LINC and supervised by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. Completing the survey takes about 15 minutes and is offered in both English and Spanish. Participants can remain anonymous.
Each week the image will update automatically to reflect a new statistic from responses to the survey.
