1. Introduction

The Arts Alliance & Clinks want to survey the Sector to capture your experiences of the economic downturn. We would like to know so that we can monitor the recession’s impact on Arts Practitioners and organisations working in the CJS. The information you provide will enable us to ensure we are providing the support needed, and help our member organisations continue to deliver their high-quality services through these challenging times.

The Arts Alliance & Clinks will continue to monitor this situation over the coming 12 months with additional surveys, discussions and information sharing.
