Survey of US-based Performing Arts Presenters, Managers and Agents

Survey of US-based Performing Arts Presenters, Managers and Agents

This survey is being conducted by the Cuba Research & Analysis Group and U.S.-Cuba Cultural Exchange (USCCE) to assess the experiences of U.S.-based arts presenters, managers and agents who worked with Cuban performing artists during their tours of the U.S., or attempts at such, up until May 2004. The results will be used to compile a report that documents the impact of Cuban performing art in the United States and that may be used to educate the public as well as policy makers and Congressional representatives.

Please take about ten minutes to complete this survey. Your responses will be completely confidential.

Note: "Cuban" or "Cubans" in this survey refers to Cubans resident in Cuba at the time they were visiting, or attempting to visit, the U.S. For the purposes of the study, it does NOT refer to Cubans resident in the U.S. or in third countries.
