ARTIST TRUST SURVEY OF ARTISTS IN THE RECESSION
Submitted by Tommer on May 7, 2009
Artist Trust has just released this unique survey of over 700 artists in Washington state. Hear their stories in their own voices.
How are artists managing in this economy? We wanted to know, so from March 15 to April 15, 2009, Artist Trust distributed an online survey to its constituents of individual artists throughout Washington State to assess how they are weathering the current economic downturn. The informal yet informative survey was not scientific; rather, we wanted to hear what is on artists’ minds and to consider what programmatic solutions Artist Trust might offer. The questions were phrased to be more qualitative than quantitative.
