Dear all,

We at Americans for the Arts are working on some redevelopment/enhancement of the Arts + Social Impact Explorer, a tool that we think will be crucial in the coming dialogue around how and why creative workers and organizations need to be central to the recovery of our communities. As part of that, Americans for the Arts is conducting a set of focus groups, centered specifically on how we might “localize” the tools within the Explorer to make them as applicable as possible to people advocating both within specific geographies (like cities, counties, or states) and within specific subject areas (like different industries or philanthropic focus areas).

I know asking for any time that isn’t focused on COVID-19 response is hard right now, so please feel free to disregard this request.

That said, if you are interested and available, please consider joining one of the 4 planned calls. There is very limited space for these focus groups, and it’s first-come, first-served. Each focus group will cover the same content, and each of which is 90 minutes – if you’re able, please sign up for 1 focus group through the Sign Up Genius linked to below this email. Thank you in advance, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Clay
