You are invited to participate in the 2026 LA County LGBTQ+ Arts and Culture Coalition @queerartsla Community Survey conducted in partnership with Arts for LA and supported by Los Angeles County. Please click link in bio and complete this survey whether you are an individual artist, represent an arts organization, or both.
This initiative seeks to assess the needs of LGBTQ+ arts and culture communities and provide informed recommendations for strategic requests for direct support. It builds on our community’s history of using data to inform policy decisions and address legal rights and disparities. Your input is essential for shaping effective advocacy and obtaining support from civic leaders, funders, and the public. The final report will be published in late summer 2026.
The Queer Arts LA Coalition formed in 2025 in response to federal attacks and widespread budget cuts impacting queer arts and culture communities. The coalition brings together a growing network of artists, organizers, and institutions to support LGBTQ+ creative communities by fostering advocacy for arts funding and visibility, while countering threats to queer spaces and programming.
The survey will take individuals less than 5 minutes to complete. If you are completing the survey on behalf of an organization, please be prepared to share information about your budget size and other financial metrics. Please be assured that the survey results are fully anonymized to protect your privacy.
Your voluntary and confidential help in gathering this information is greatly appreciated. Please share this survey with others in the LGBTQ+ Art & Culture communities in Los Angeles County as appropriate. Please complete the survey by midnight on Monday, May 4, 2026.
Thank you for your participation.
