The deadline to participate has been extended to Friday, October 28. We urge your participation to ensure the success of this important project to support the arts in every community across Tennessee. All FY17 TN Arts Commission grantees are required by contract to complete the survey.

The findings from this study—the largest and most comprehensive study ever conducted to measure the economic impact of the arts and culture—will become a valuable arts advocacy tool at the local, state and national level.

Download the survey and mail or email your completed survey to the address provided on the survey. The quickest option would be to download the ‘fillable’ Word Doc, input your information and then send your completed survey by email to bdavidson@artsusa.org.

Or, you can complete the survey online. If you wish to use the online survey, visit www.da.culturaldata.org. Log in to your account, or create an account if you have not done so already.

You will first be asked to provide background information about your organization (e.g., artistic discipline, legal status such as nonprofit/government, federal EIN number, etc.). We request that you provide information about your 2015 fiscal year (we will also accept FY2016 information).

Then, the one-page survey and provide your organization’s total support and revenue, total value of in-kind donations received, total operating expenses, total capital expenses, size of workforce/volunteers, and total attendance.  Your best estimates are fine (enter zeroes if applicable).

Thank you for your participation in this important research study. If you have any questions, please contact me at grace.robinson@tn.gov or 615.253.5133.
