ACGT disseminating survey

The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo (ACGT) has developed a survey to help it better serve the performing and literary arts community.

“We need to know who the artists are before we jump in and change the programming,” said Ryan Bunch, performing and literary arts coordinator for the ACGT. The ACGT is asking both literary and performing artist — dancers, musicians, writers and actors — to complete the five-minute survey on or before Feb. 28. The survey covers basic demographics as well as where artists see themselves in their career among other questions, Bunch said. Information from the surveys will be used to address the needs and wants of the art community, he said. After collecting the data, Bunch also hopes to have a meet and greet with the different literary and performing artists to have a more in-depth conversation about what they need from the ACGT, he said.

To take the survey, visit www.survey monkey.com/s/acgt-plartists.
