Check out our new spaces for the site last month.  Some have added to another section of the site - some on our multi-disciplinary search are new to the site.  We've also updated our links page, particularly new multi-disciplinary organizations.

And while we're at it - a big thank you to Martin Denton at NYTheatre.com, Morgan Lindsey Tachco at NY Innovative Theatre Awards, and Michelle Burkhart at Dance/NYC for helping to publicize our economic survey.  If you're a performing artist and/or running an arts facility, and you haven't taken this survey yet - what's keeping you?  Go do it now.
