The 2020 Arts Professionals Survey was fielded in the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and was an update to the 2017 and 2014 versions of the survey. The 2023 survey again asks arts professionals about issues related to their career path, access to space and resources, health and wellness, housing, and perceptions of Calgary as well as the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
The 20-minute anonymous survey provides critical information about those working in the arts sector. Survey results will be used to help inform future arts development activities in Calgary and provide arts workers with further insights into the trends within the sector.
