Artists' Communities: Making the Case

Being affiliated with the Alliance of Artists Communities has added immeasurable value to the Djerassi Resident Artists Program. As a founding institution, we have had the opportunity to watch the Alliance mature to become the leading force for the field that is reaping huge benefits in visibility and direct support. Creating networks with our peers, advancing our collective missions, providing funding partnerships and caring about our issues are the Alliance’s strengths, and the value that we, as membership residency programs, gain from our association.

A report on perception research conducted by the Alliance of Artists Communities in the Fall of 2005.

The Alliance of Artists Communities conducted a series of individual interviews in 2005 with a broad group representing various opinion leaders and constituents of the field of artists' communities. The intent of the interviews was to gauge current perceptions and awareness of the Alliance and the field, and to solicit feedback on how the Alliance and the field can better communicate their value and increase their visibility to others. The responses will assist the Alliance and the field be better advocates for artists' communities--informing the way we communicate about the field as a whole--as well as individual organizations.
