2024 LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE ARTS SURVEY

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on the Arts in advance of the 2024 election. We’ll post your responses on our website so that voters in your district and across the state can make informed decisions about who will best represent the Arts community in Hartford.

We ask that you complete the survey by Friday, September 20. We know your time is limited so we understand that your responses will be brief.

Your Name: *

What office and district are you a candidate for?

Office *

House

District: *

1. Do you have a connection to the arts? If so, please share.

2. Can you share an arts experience that has impacted your life or the lives of your family members?

3. The Connecticut legislature hosts the Arts, Culture, and Tourism Caucus, a bipartisan group of legislators who champion state support for the arts community. If elected (or re-elected), will you join (or rejoin) the Caucus?

4. A study conducted by Americans for the Arts reported that Connecticut nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences generated nearly $1 billion in economic activity in 2022, including $55 million in state tax revenue, and supported more than 12,000 jobs (https://ctartsalliance.org/get-started/aep6/). Despite this, Connecticut has historically under invested state funds in the arts and lags the rest of the nation in recognizing that arts generate tax revenue and support a thriving economy.

If elected (or re-elected), will you support increased investment of state funds in arts and culture?

5. Are there any other ways that you’d like to convey to voters that you have been supportive of the arts community?
