The Alliance will make the second update to its Recession & The Arts report by issuing a survey in February. The Alliance is also partnering with Trudel | MacPherson, an arts consultancy, to measure messaging alignment, resource allocation and communications effectiveness in digital and social media. In mid-February, a survey will be sent to more than 600 arts organizations around the country; participants will receive a preview of national findings before the Trudel | MacPherson report is released in the spring. Thank you in advance for participating in these research studies that capture the current state of the arts industry.
