Advocacy

Arts and Culture Organizations Temperature Check

How is your organization or business doing right now?

Data is our most important tool for advocacy. While some national groups have published reports about the health of the arts and culture sector, there is currently no comprehensive data about how creative organizations and businesses are faring in Illinois. To continue fighting for critical resources and funding for the arts in our state, we need big-picture information about how everyone is doing right now.

The survey is only two questions and shouldn’t take more than a minute to complete. Demographic information is optional but greatly helps us determine impact trends.

This quick survey is intended for organizations and creative businesses in Illinois. If you’re an individual artist and want to share information about your current situation, please fill out this form instead!
