Dear Survey Respondent,
CNAL/RCAA is exploring the nature and reach of Canadian arts-in-learning programming, as well as the current needs of the arts-in-learning sector in Canada.

For the purposes of this survey, the term "arts-in-learning" refers to activities and programs that have a component designed to educate about the arts in general and/or about a particular art form; use the arts to illuminate other, non-arts subjects or issues; and/or provide the opportunity for individuals to engage in creativity-based art work.

While we would appreciate your response to all of the survey items that apply to your organization, please feel free to skip any questions to which you do not feel comfortable replying.

We appreciate your taking the time to assist us in this important research.The results of this study will be available on the CNAL/RCAA website as of November 2013.

Sincerely,
Dr. Ann Patteson, Arts Learning and Research Consultant, Lead Researcher for the CNAL/RCAA research

Steven Campbell, Arts Consultant, Research Associate for the CNAL/RCAA research
