Arts Space Needs and Issues Survey

3.THIS SURVEY IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND THE ART COMMUNITY ...

Because SPACE impacts how and where artists practice. Effectively planned it can be a catalyst for stimulating arts activities in Edmonton.


Are you having trouble finding a space that meets your specific creative space needs?
Are you having difficulties getting license or permit approvals?
Or, have you managed to make things work for your space needs?


Arts Habitat Association has designed this survey to uncover arts space needs and issues to support the City of Edmonton in “redrawing zoning bylaws or other regulations that inhibit the effective development of space for arts.” The information will also inform Arts Habitat Association database for cultural mapping and arts facilities needs in Edmonton.


THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR SPACE ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND SUCCESSES if you are an Artist of any discipline working alone or in an organization, a cultural industry worker, arts administrator, instructor or student interested in living, and working in a creative environment.


RESULTS OF THIS SURVEY WILL BE USED TO make positive change in the current zoning bylaws and regulations. The information will also inform Arts Habitat Association database for cultural mapping and arts facilities needs in Edmonton.


YOUR RESPONSES WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY. Individual data and comments will not be shared with any other individuals or organizations and will not be released publicly. No information will be used by the city to enforce any permits or bylaws!


As a token of our appreciation participants will be entered into our
