Professional Development Survey 2021
If you are a Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled or Hard of Hearing practicing artist, please help us by taking the first anonymous Professional Development Survey.
Deaf Spotlight (DS) would like to gather data annually on practicing artists all over the United States: #pocdeafcreatives, #deafcreatives, #deafblindcreatives, and #hhcreatives. The results will be shared with the public, artists, peer organizations, and be available for grant writing purposes.
*practicing artist- A person who approaches their work with a professional mindset (discipline, commitment, persistence, etc) to create art which may or may not lead to sales at the end. Source
