  • IDEA Study | Audience Outlook Monitor

    IDEA Study, Phase 2: Focus on Accessibility Respondent Instructions and Survey Protocol Take the Survey of Accessibility Practices of Performing Arts Organizations Welcome Thank you for joining this important study of accessibility practices at performing arts organizations. The purpose of this survey is to gain perspective on the current accessibility practices of a cross-section of performing arts organizations in the US and Canada. This research is part of a larger study to understand the current landscape of accessibility needs and practices in the performing arts sector, with the overall goal of advancing disability inclusion and access. We are undertaking this study in part because we believe there have been significant shifts in public attitudes about accessibility. In designing and implementing this study, we have collaborated with and built on the past work and perspectives of advocates and practitioners working in the accessibility space. We are grateful for the arts professionals and inclusion advocates who have consulted with us on this project and for the members of the advisory committee that is guiding this research. The survey is open to all performing arts presenters and producers in the US and Canada, and there is no cost to participate. Aggregate survey results will be made available to all responding organizations via an online dashboard. Your survey responses will be treated as confidential information, and data will be reported in aggregate only. No identifying information will be associated with individual survey responses in the dashboard or reports. Instructions The survey should be completed by the person in your organization with the greatest familiarity with your accessibility services. Submit only one response per organization. Download the Respondent Instructions and Survey Protocol PDF or Word Document below.
