Survey Says!

The results are in; we had 18 member survey responses, not too far from 50% of all members:

• A big majority of responders (12) say they have been members for more than 3 years. When asked what they like best about their membership, 12 say “chance to exhibit,” and the rest say “networking with other artists” (8) and “programs” (7).
• Responders are almost equally divided between thinking we have the right number of shows (10) and we have too few shows (9).
• 10 responders say they like gallery shows best and 7 say they prefer shows in public spaces.
• 6 like shows with prizes, 5 like shows without prizes.
