MSAC PROGRAM UPDATES

ARTS CAPITAL

MSAC is asking in-state arts and culture organizations seeking capital funding to respond to an online survey. The survey is part of the overall listening and research phase of developing the new Arts Capital Program and will help staff and program editors better understand both the current and future needs of organizations navigating the process of planning and fundraising for capital projects. The survey also includes space for constituents to submit open-ended questions about the new program. Click here to complete the survey form no later than September 29.
