blog: DCMS - national survey of amateur arts groups in England

Trends Business Research (TBR) have asked me to distribute the following announcement - it may be of interest to some of you:

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.

We would very much appreciate your support in promoting the survey through sending on this email and we would be most grateful if you could distribute/display the attached poster and actively encourage any voluntary/amateur arts groups you are aware of to complete the survey.
The research has the potential to be very useful as point of reference when applying for funding and for looking at how amateur arts groups could be better supported.

The survey will run until 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.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us on 0191 281 9955 or at voluntary.arts@tbr.co.uk.
