Artist Survey

The National Performance Network (NPN), has engaged Converge to lead the development of an artist and small arts organization landscape scan for Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Converge is conducting interviews and surveys with artists and small arts organizations in the region as well as local, regional and national funders. The purpose of these interviews and survey is to inform a deeper understanding of both existing and emerging support for artists as well as the intersection of the arts with other social justice movements. NPN is especially interested in hearing the experiences of artists who identify as people of color, indigenous, immigrant/refugee, LGBTQIA, have a disability and/or living in rural/geographically-isolated areas.
