q2 · i? · associational · r1
Survey findings on anticipated future impact. One respondent expressed concern that contracts would decrease, leaving experienced teaching artists without consistent work, after having prioritized hiring more teaching artists without seeing increased residency placements.
"In addition to those organizations that reported already losing some funding and contracts, many more respondents anticipate they will lose work because of Prop 28 AMS."
