Center Stage Audience Survey

We are very glad you attended an activity featuring an artist group from Morocco, Pakistan, or Vietnam. This activity was part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs produced by the New England Foundation for the Arts.

The intent of Center Stage is to: 1) Create opportunities for artists from abroad to share their work here, experience U.S. culture, and directly interact with Americans; 2) Encourage American citizens to engage with artists from other cultures on stage and off; 3) Demonstrate the power of the arts to bring people together.

Your participation in this survey will help us document and evaluate Center Stage in an effort to continue to bring high quality, contemporary artists from abroad to the U.S. for cultural exchange through the Center Stage program. At the end of the survey, you may enter your name in a raffle to win a Center Stage Season 2 Sample CD.
