SURVEY & UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

|
Dear Artists,
Are you wondering how to get more people to see and value your work? East End Arts is committed to the growth of its artists in all areas. This is why we've decided to begin planning a professional development program, which aims to bring out each artist's inner entrepreneur. We've enlisted the help of a few creatively-inclined MBA students from Stony Brook University who have put together a survey meant to gain insight into the professional needs of our artists.
By filling out this short, easy survey, you are helping East End Arts to understand the types of programs we should be offering our artists.
Many thanks!
East End Arts
