We Want You! 
The Arizona Commission on the Arts has served as Arizona’s state arts agency for over 43 years, and maintains a strong commitment to thoughtful, inclusive planning and evaluation. 

It is no secret that the recession has left Arizona’s arts and culture industry at a crossroads. We believe that now is the time to evaluate the efficacy of existing programs and consider strategic changes in course. 

We value your perspective. Help us chart our agency’s course for the next five years, by participating in one of several listening session meetings across our state as a part of our 2010-2015 Strategic Planning Process: Building an Artistic Future for Arizona. You need only bring your unique experiences and your dreams for meaningful change in your communities. 

There will be several ways to participate in Building an Artistic Future for Arizona, including targeted surveys, interviews, focus groups, and the listening sessions listed below. 

To confirm that you plan to participate in any of the statewide listening sessions, send an email to [email protected] at least 5 days prior to the scheduled meeting. In your email, list your full name, title and/or affiliation, and the city/workshop you will attend. 

Please join us. And thank you.
