\"\"<\/p>\n

By now you may have seen an email announcing an\u00a0 Massachusetts Cultural Council <\/a>\u00a0survey to help us in strategic planning. I want to reach out especially to you as members of the traditional arts community and to ask you to respond to questions specific to our field.<\/p>\n

You can share your ideas at four public forums we\u2019ve scheduled for early December. MCC staff will join attendees to create a shared vision for expanding support for the arts, humanities, and sciences in Massachusetts, and how to translate that vision into reality. Register for a public forum.<\/a><\/p>\n

Please\u00a0consider filling out a short and simple planning survey <\/a>(which should take 15 minutes or less; please complete by Friday, December 16, 2011). All responses will be confidential (unless you request otherwise).<\/p>\n

In addition to the questions that are posed in the survey, feel free to comment on issues that directly affect our field:<\/p>\n

1. How important is it for the MCC to continue funding traditional arts apprenticeships and artist fellowships?<\/p>\n

2. How else do you think we can support the work of traditional artists?<\/p>\n

3. Are there people or traditions you think we should know about? If so, let us know.<\/p>\n

Thank you. Your input will be invaluable in shaping the strategic plan and charting MCC\u2019s future course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
