Take This Survey by 10/16 if You Live, Work or Play in Gwinnett

Create Gwinnett is Gwinnett County’s first-ever Arts and Creative Economy Master Plan, and input is encouraged by all who work, live or play in Gwinnett to participate in a survey before the Oct. 16 extended deadline. Create Gwinnett focuses on how arts and culture help foster economic prosperity in the county. It’s the result of a goal identified in Gwinnett County’s 2040 Unified Plan: to enhance Gwinnett’s profile as a cultural destination where the arts educate, elevate and inspire.

Spearheading the planning process is Artworks Gwinnett along with Lord Cultural Resources and they are encouraging participation from all ages — Pre-K to community elders — to understand where and how people are experiencing arts and culture today in Gwinnett County and what it can be in the future.

Take the survey: The short online survey will help Artworks Gwinnett understand where Gwinnett residents are currently experiencing arts and cultural events, what types of activities they have participated in, and what is missing from Gwinnett County that can help arts and culture thrive. The survey is available in English, Spanish and Korean at this link.

Create Gwinnett focuses on equitable talent development, job expansion in the arts sector and policies for support of vibrant communities. The plan will chart Gwinnett’s pathway for regional and national creative leadership.
