Artists of all kinds are urged to be part of a study set to give a voice to the creative workforce and boost the vitality of Perth.
In an Australian-first, Perth will join Vancouver and Glasgow in an international study by university researchers hoping to create more vibrant cities.
The study, based at Curtin University will explore the role of culture and the arts in attracting and retaining ‘creatives’ in Perth and WA.
We are looking for 1,000 artists to complete a survey about them and their work.
Being an artist is really about how you define yourself. To be part of this survey an artist could be a painter, musician, sculptor, writer, poet, photographer, illustrator, film maker, street performer, body artist, light and sound designers, dancer, actor, comedian – in fact anyone working in the creative sector.
With this survey we’ll learn more about the role of artists and how they work, so we can boost the visibility of creativity in Perth, inform funding and skills development, and build a more sustainable creative workforce.
to complete the survey go to our facebook page Creative Workforce WA or http://research.humanities.curtin.edu.au/creativeworkforce/ or request a hard copy from creativeworkforce@curtin.edu.au
Your experience is important and unique. Whatever form your arts practice takes, we would like to hear your story.
We would also very much like your help with publicity and in contacting artists networks. If you can help with either, or if you have any enquiries please contact us. |
