SOUTHERN ARIZONA CREATIVE SECTOR SURVEY
A Survey of Southern Arizona Artists, Creatives and Makers on their work, Well Being, Professional Development Needs, Socioeconomic Status, Access to Healthcare and Demographics.
The cultural and economic contributions of artists, creatives and makers to their wider communities are well-known to those who actively participate and engage in arts advocacy. Less well understood are the dynamic needs of artists in key quality of life areas such as income, places of work, health insurance coverage, ongoing professional development needs, and what helps artists grow their network and thrive professionally.
To better understand these needs and how to serve them, SAACA launched an annual regional survey of the Southern Arizona Creative Sector of all disciplines to assess these measures and benchmark the needs of those who give so much back to our region.
