Diamond State residents are being asked to give their input on the arts in Delaware as part of the state Division of the Arts' ongoing strategic planning.

As of Thursday, Nov. 5, residents can do on an online survey.

“Determining what Delawareans value and expect from the arts in Delaware, in the past, present and future, is a vitally important component of the strategic planning process,” Division of the Arts Director Paul Weagraff said. “We are asking Delawareans to take just a few minutes to participate in this survey and make a valuable contribution to our new strategic plan.”

Interested participants can access the survey at www. artsdel.org or through the banner ad on DelawareScene.com.

The Division of the Arts' "Design Delaware" is not just gathering input from constituents but evaluating programs and services and developing a strategic plan. In addition to the survey of Delawareans, the division has conducted extensive individual interviews with arts and community leaders, a series of focus groups, targeted online surveys and public meetings.
