[cid:image001.jpg@01D0152F.88EFD690] Help support the growth of Tacoma's creative community by taking an online survey! Are you an artist or engaged in creative pursuits? Do you lead an arts or cultural organization or creative business? Do you need affordable space to live, work, create, rehearse, perform, or conduct business? If so, we want to hear from you! Please take our comprehensive online artist market survey that will help the City and local developers understand the needs of the creative community in Tacoma. Our goal is to maintain and develop new affordable space for living, working and creating in Tacoma. Data from the survey will show the need, build support, help secure funding, and assist developers and creative space providers like Spaceworks Tacoma to help them make decisions that best benefit creative use within existing and future developments. Your input and a large response is critical to the project's success - help us spread the word! Take the survey at creativespacetacoma.org<http://www.creativespacetacoma.org/> by February 9, 2015. We'll even send you a piece of original letterpress art created by Jessica Spring, while supplies last!
