Toronto Craft Alert

Perhaps some of you are aware that Artscape has plans to develop a facility for creative entrepreneurship in the areas that include art and design, new media, film, and performing arts.

I’ve decided to do a two-parter: first I’ll post the results of the survey that relate to you, the TCA readers, and I’ll follow this up in a bit with your feedback on the blog which was supremely constructive (and thus deserves its own post).

If you have any further questions, please contact me at survey[AT]iheartfelt.com
