Artist Market Survey Draft Report Under Review!!

Feb 2 2010 -- Artspace Projects has delivered the draft report of the Artist Market Survey. The report describes the demographics of those interested in living and/or working in downtown El Paso. The El Paso team is reviewing the document and planning an approach to implementation. The survey results are very promising and will be shared with local Artspace El Paso supporters very soon both on this website and on Facebook with friends of 'Artspace El Paso' as well as shared with local government officials and the media. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

EL PASO ARTISTS WEIGH IN WITH HUGE RESPONSE!

Dec 2 2009 -- The response to the Artist Market survey in El Paso has been tremendous! What this reveals, initially, is that there is a huge unfilled need for housing and facilities for artists in El Paso. The local supporters of Artspace are energized like never before and cannot wait to share the results of the survey with the thousands of El Pasoans who have become supporters of the project. We all look forward to moving this process forward and bringing you all along as engaged participants. Thanks El Paso!!

Performing Artists Wanted!!!

Oct 19 2009 -- The survey is going great...but, it seems that we are not reaching the local performing arts sector. In order to have a diverse respondent pool we are asking that actors, singers, dancers and other performing artists complete the survey. If you are a performing artist interested in living in downtown El Paso please take the survey. If you have performing artist friends please forward them a link to this website, or direct them to the "Artspace El Paso" facebook profile to learn more.
