“It is extremely important that we hear the voices of the people in our community as we assess ways to organize, communicate, plan and offer quality arts programming for our citizens. We cannot work effectively in a vacuum and make decisions entirely based on what we think should be presented, without the input of our patrons and the people we serve. Consideration must be given to those things that our citizens prioritize as well, said Essix.”

The committee is asking as many citizens as possible to take part in the survey. Residents who would like to express their opinions can simply follow the link below: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/bhamartculture
