As one of 400 partners in the Sixth Arts & Economic Prosperity Study (AEP6), organized by Americans for the Arts, CAFC is responsible for collecting a minimum of 800 audience surveys at cultural events in our region, with 20% from BIPOC or ALANA organizations. So far, we have submitted 722 audience surveys from 125 cultural events. See record here. If you are a BIPOC or ALANA organization, or are staging a relevant event, let us know if you would be willing to be a host survey site. Our deadline to reach our 800 survey goal is May 31. CAFC is also collecting Organization Surveys. 262 organizations in our region have been sent short surveys to complete about their spending and activity in their communities. Only 139 (53%) have been completed. We will be sending reminders, but please respond to this survey ASAP, as together with the results of the Audience Surveys, this report can have a big impact on our advocacy with legislators and municipalities and show how valuable an investment in nonprofit arts and culture is.
