Continuously Evolving--MGA Survey on Programming
The Markham Group of Artists would like to receive feedback on how we are doing in delivering quality art programming to you. In this 15-minute survey, we would like you to tell us how we can better address your needs as artists: what you would like to see happen, what isn't working, and how we can do better. We would also like your input on ideas we have for programming in the coming year. Please respond to the questions below and submit the survey by November 15.

This is a voluntary and anonymous survey, which you may leave at any time. Thank you so much for your time and feedback.
