ART+FORM: An arts and culture collaboration for a creative community.

We are interested in understanding the opportunities and barriers that exist when planning a new interdisciplinary art space to support the growth of arts and culture in Arizona. Your responses will help us define the best use of our spaces at Park Central to support connection, community, and collaboration. We may be conducting future surveys toward this end and hope that you will take the time to complete the contact information section if you would like to provide further feedback as the project progresses. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. - Artlink Inc.
