Greetings!

Arts & Economic Impact Study Logo

As this is our last e-newsletter of the year, I want to send you warm wishes for a wonderful holiday celebration!

 

I am excited to announce that the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission is joining Americans for the Arts' latest national economic impact study, Arts & Economic Prosperity IV

To complete the study, we will be asking for your help. The study requires that we collect
audience surveys from people who are attending arts and culture events as well as detailed financial and programming information from all of the arts and culture organizations located in Sacramento County. So we will need your help during the course of calendar year 2011. Stay tuned for details in January


To a great, new year!

Best,

Rhyena Halpern, Director

Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission

P.S. Please keep in mind that the SMAC office will be closed Thursday December 23rd and Friday December 24th this week, and Thursday December 30th and Friday December 31st next week.
