Members of our Creative Community:
We are excited to give you a sneak preview of the survey results from the Creative Space L.A. surveys for individuals and organizations/businesses. The full study will be released later this spring and we look forward to seeing you at a to-be-scheduled public meeting to learn about all the significant findings and what the partners are doing to make this project a reality.
Let us start by saying that the survey numbers are impressive. More artists and individuals in performing arts and entertainment have expressed an interest in affordable space in this project, than we have seen for a project in any other community across the country where Artspace has conducted similar studies. This is really exciting, as these numbers will help propel forward this and other projects serving artists, individuals in the performing arts and entertainment, arts/cultural organizations and creative businesses. Here is a sampling of data results:
- A total of 1,863 individuals responded to the Creative Space L.A. survey
- 1,063 individuals are interested in affordable housing
- Top 6 arts disciplines of interested artists (in descending order): Acting/Voice over, Writing/Literary Arts, Music, Film/Video/TV/Digital Production, Arts Education/Instruction, and Painting/Drawing
- A total of 151 organizations and businesses responded to the Creative Space L.A. survey
- 131 (87%) organizations or businesses are interested in utilizing space in a new arts/creative facility in Downtown Los Angeles
- Number of non-profit organizations that are interested in space: 82
- Number of for-profit creative and arts related/arts-friendly businesses that are interested in space: 33
- Top 6 arts involvement areas of interested organizations (in descending order): Theater Arts, Arts Education/Instruction, Film/Video/TV/Web Production, Performance Art, Music, and Dance/Choreography
For the Broadway Arts Center prefeasibility report for Downtown Los Angeles released in August, 2011, you can download a PDF of the report.

We are interested in the needs of all artists and those associated with the arts and entertainment industries who have a sincere commitment to their art/creative work, in any and all of its forms. If you consider your work to be a form of art or creative industries-based-profession, then we probably will too. Creative individuals need not make any income from their art or pursue their practice full time to participate. We consider artists and creative individuals to be committed if they have or are developing a body of work, have studied or are actively training in their art/industry, have a desire to grow as an artist, work professionally in their creative field and/or are actively engaged in the creation and expression of their art/creative work.
