We don't repeat ourselves unless it is very important.  And this really is.

NYCPAS is conducting two surveys -- for performing artists and cultural facilities/venues -- that will help government administrators, legislators and policy makers better understand and respond to the impact of the recession on New York City artists.

 

Please take five minutes to tell us about your current professional activities and economic situation.  Whether or not you responded to our surveys in the past, your input today is critical, particularly in light of recent proposed cuts to culture and the arts in New York City and New York State budgets.

 

Take the 5-minute survey for Performing Artists now!

Take the 5-minute survey for Arts Venues & Cultural Facilities now!

 

Both surveys close Friday, June 11th.

Your participation is vital! 

 

These surveys follow up on similar ones taken in 2008 and 2009, and are part of our ongoing effort to accurately gauge the extent to which the recession has impacted New York City artists.

Survey results will be made publicly available, and responses will remain anonymous.

If you have any questions, please contact us at info@nycPASpaces.org.

Choreographer Reggie Wilson of Fist & Heel Performance Group won a prestigious fellowship this week.  Wilson, who participated in our focus group for choreographers for the dance space needs assessment study, won a $50,000 grant for his work from United States Artists, the LA-based advocacy group. 

 

Coming right on top of a successful run at BAM and sensational reviews, we congratulate Reggie on his success.  (And also thank him for the input and advice this October.)
