Thanks to all the artists who participated in the Senior Artists' Research Project (SARP) survey and town hall discussions. We have been overwhelmed by the level of participation in this project. Over 1,500 senior artists from across the country completed the survey, and over 160 participated in one of the 17 town hall sessions.
Hill Strategies Research is now examining the responses, stories and other information shared by participants and will prepare a report outlining artists’ needs and interests in areas such as artistic activity, health care, retirement, housing, financial issues, community connections and social networks. |
