Voluntary Arts Survey 2008

As you may have already heard Friday 1st February 2008 marked the launch of the Department for Culture Media and Sport's first ever national survey of amateur arts groups in England. Covering music, drama, dance, literature, visual arts and crafts the aim is to get a clearer picture of amateur arts in England. The research has the potential to be very useful as a point of reference when applying for funding and for looking at how amateur arts groups could be better supported.

The survey will run from 1st-29th February 2008 and can be completed by going to http://www.artsurvey.org.uk. As a thank you for completing the survey, groups will be entered into a free prize draw. Three respondents will be selected at random and receive £150 for their group.
