The major issue facing artists and arts organizations in some areas is space. Other towns worry about integrating historical data. The AAC serves a county with 15 towns and over 40,000 residents. The needs are so diverse that the right answer for Richford may contradict a plan in Fairfield.
      We are building a Community Needs Assessment to survey folks around the county. This assessment gathers data about performance spaces, and convenient experts, and economics, and existing Town plans, and your interests. Here's what we know so far.
      This is an evolving plan. Please tell us all the neat stuff we have left out.
