Survey: Economic Impact on Artists

September 1, 2009

Is the recession over for you, or still going strong? As an artist, the conditions you face in this current economic climate should be heard and addressed.

A national survey was recently launched to determine the impact of the current economic situation on artists. More than 5,000 artists have already responded, but there are more voices that have not yet weighed in.

The Artists and the Economic Recession Survey invites you to share your experience. It is being conducted by Leveraging Investments in Creativity (LINC), a 10-year national initiative to improve conditions for artists, and supervised by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. Completing the survey takes about 15 minutes and is offered in both English and Spanish.

There is strength in numbers. Reaching as many artists as possible improves the quality of this important research and better equips everyone who advocates for artists and the arts.
