In 2021, during the Pandemic, funders were creating programs to support artists without asking and listening to the artists themselves.
We tried something radical. We asked artists.

This activation began as a single question. “What do artists need right now” We started asking the question directly from four different locations in in BC arts ecosystem, two in urban locations and two in rural locations.

We chose a simple question that we could revisit over time. We shared all data gathered back to participants and with funders.

We repeated the question months later as a means to track change.
