Elemental friend, Consultant, Verena Cornwall is carrying out a piece of headline research and would like your help.

“I am carrying out a piece of headline research about circus artists in
England . If you are a professional circus artist I would be very grateful if you could take a small amount of time to fill out a survey. The survey is being carried out on-line but I can forward paper copies to anyone who does not have computer access.

The link for the survey is:

HERE

The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and the deadline is 5pm on Friday 27th September. All information is treated in strict confidence.”

Please forward this to anyone who you might be able to help.

Thanks!

The National Association of Street Artists (NASA) is a network for both individual artists and artists’ companies creating work for the street and other outdoor contexts.

NASA is an independent national network of UK-based Street Artists working to develop professional practice through networking, peer support, sharing of information, collaboration and advocacy. It aims to act as a forum for discussion, exploring common issues and methodologies in order to engage with peers, audiences, promoters, local authorities, development agencies, funders and the media to support the development of the sector.

NASA is a network. As such, there is no infrastructure - no office, no staff and no direct way to contact NASA other than by email. There is a steering group, which carries out managerial and development functions on behalf of the network. If you would like to speak to someone, please e-mail with your contact details and a member of the steering group will contact you. E-mail missioncontrol@nasauk.org
