Hey Artists, how’s it going?
By Katie Steger, Senior Program Associate and Project Manager, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation –
Are you able to make a living through your artistic practice? Do you have health insurance? Have you enrolled in Obamacare? How’s it going? What keeps you up at night?
The Mellon Foundation is conducting a survey to better understand the current state of artists currently working and living in the US. This is your chance to let Mellon know your most pressing needs as it considers the ways in which it might expand its support of the artistic community.
The survey should take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. As some of the questions pertain to income, employment, and health insurance status, you may wish to have this information available when you begin the survey. Please note that any results or findings from the survey will contain only unidentifiable, summary data.
The Mellon Foundation endeavors to strengthen, promote, and, where necessary, defend the contributions of the humanities and the arts to human flourishing and to the well-being of diverse and democratic societies. To this end, we support exemplary institutions of higher education and culture as they renew and provide access to an invaluable heritage of ambitious, path-breaking work.
