Ohio State University Research Project Seeks Artists to Interview
Help contribute to national research efforts on the state and well-being of artists and the creative sector in the United States! Current research being conducted through the Ohio State University, with partial support from the National Endowment for the Arts, is seeking artists from Oregon to interview about their experiences during the pandemic. Researchers aim to expand their sample to include more BIPOC artists/creatives and more precariously situated artists/creatives to better understand the experiences of people who have left the arts or considered leaving the arts because of the pandemic’s impact. Each participant will receive a $40 Amazon gift card. All interviews will be conducted over Zoom.
