Cultural Needs Survey |
Survey Background
A group of citizens and stakeholders in Staunton, VA, is developing #CREATEstaunton (working title) -- a project for downtown that supports the creation, production, and presentation of arts and culture while fostering sustainable community.
The purpose of this survey is to learn about unmet cultural, educational, and community space needs in Staunton and surrounding communities. We are currently exploring buildings downtown that with a relatively modest initial investment can host both educational and presentational spaces. We will apply what we learn from this survey to the continued refinement of our concept. We also welcome anyone who would like to follow this development more closely or aid our continued work.
The educational space is where youth and adults can acquire digital skills, and participate in art, movement, and music workshops and boot camps. The presentation space will accommodate larger activities, such as live music performances, farm and food and pop-up events. Our survey seeks your response to sample activities. We do not intend for these sample activities to represent firm plans for our concept. Instead, we offer these samples to encourage you think about the widest possible range of activities, and for us to learn from you about other activities that might be of great interest to you and the community.
The survey (28 questions) takes about seven minutes -- we need your answers by MONDAY AUGUST 21, 2017. Thank you for participating, and we look forward to incorporating your responses into our continued work.
