Arts & Economic Prosperity Survey
If you attended one or more of the Blueprints concerts, please click here to take a short survey about the event. Please also forward this email to any family or friends who attended with you so they can take the survey too.These surveys (part of the City of Elgin's participation in the nationwide Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 survey) are anonymous and help to demonstrate how the arts grow tourism, generate revenue, and create jobs. These surveys also help to gauge how arts and culture impact community pride and cultural identity.
