AK Native Artist Resource Workbook Survey

The Alaska State Council on the Arts (ASCA) provides statewide community-based Artist Professional development workshops, held in partnership with local providers and arts professionals. As part of this service we also provide professional development workbooks to all artist participants, local professional development trainers, service providers and partners.

ASCA and The CIRI Foundation have partnered to greatly improve and expand this resource workbook. Our intention is to enhance artists’ abilities to compete in a complex marketplace and more successfully accomplish creative goals. These materials will be published by the spring of 2015 and will be hosted on the ASCA website and made publicly available in both paper and electronic formats.

Please help us design the content to best meet your professional development needs as an artist by completing this survey. Feel free to share this survey with other artists who you know would benefit from contributing their ideas. We sincerely value your insight and willingness to help us create an excellent new publication. By completing the survey you will be automatically entered into a drawing to win an amazon gift card valued at $100.

Thank you so much for your time!
