The city, state and zip code are required information for those who wish to remain anonymous. The survey answers will also be kept confidential.
The majority of people do not focus on the arts in their daily lives; however, we are touched each day by the creative sector. From the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the art in our homes and offices, these designs and colors we choose are because someone in a creative business made these options available! Web pages we look at each day on our computers, sports and business logos are designed by graphic designers. The list can go on and on! It is of great importance to bring this information forward and try to make everyone realize how strong the impact of creative community is in our everyday lives!
In order to form a cohesive entity that will represent all these sectors in our creative community, we need your help! To get statistics, percentages and your opinions, we need you to take the survey! Please participate in the survey and become a part of the mission to take our region to the next level!
