MA Artists: Stand Up and Be Counted

Please, this is easy to fill out and important for Massachusetts artists.  This data will be the information needed to persuade legislators and create policies that protect and support the arts community in this state.  If you are an artist residing in Massachusetts, please take a moment and fill it out.

***

Deadline extended to 2/7/09

Please, if you have not already, fill out Stand Up and Be Counted- a survey for Massachusetts artists of all disciplines (music, film, visual, craft, performing, literary, etc..).

Your answers will help the Artists Foundation and others better advocate for our community on legislation and policy.  Please be aware that several of the NON REQUIRED questions ask for 2006 income data – so you may need to find/dust off your 2006 IRS tax returns.

Just over 2,900 artists have filled it out!   Our survey was based on a MN survey and they had just over 1,000 responses. We would love to have over 3,000 responses!

PLEASE also help us reach our goal of over 3,000 response and help us spread the word to others artists of ALL disciplines in our state to fill it out:  www.artistsfoundation.org

Sincerely,

Kathleen Bitetti
