ARTS_ADVOCACY_SURVEY

PLEASE     PLEASE

 Whether or not you, your Organization or Business is becoming a member, we really need this information for Lobbying on the Local, State and Federal level. We plan on compiling this information and submitting it to our Legislators and the Lake Placid/Essex County or Adirondack Regional Tourism to help with publicity for the Arts.

It will also help us in identifying you for a National Survey that ACNA is preparing for in 2007 of the Arts and Economic Impact in the Adirondack Park. This survey is being conducted by Americans for the Arts in Washington DC with our assistance.
This goes hand in hand with the Creative Industries Report compiled by
Americans for the Arts from the Dunn & Bradstreet information.

“Sign Up and Be Counted”, a campaign to get individual artists,  arts organizations and Arts related businesses to register or update their information with Dun & Bradstreet.  It is beneficial to do so because having a DUNS number is a pre-requisite to applying for many grants and loans.  Furthermore, having a DUNS number will ensure that YOU are counted in the annual Creative Industries studies.  Full details on the DUNS number and directions for contacting D&B to register are contained at Americans for the Arts website;      http://www.AmericansfortheArts.org/sc/ Sign Up and Be Counted.
