Arts for LA is pleased to release the results of candidate surveys for Los Angeles City Council, Pasadena City Council, Burbank Unified School District, Los Angeles Unified School District School Board and Pasadena Unified School District School Board.

The survey provides an opportunity for candidates to articulate their awareness and support of arts & culture and arts education. All candidates for each election were invited to participate in the brief survey, and Arts for LA received a record number of candidate responses.  Arts for LA applauds those candidates who took the time to complete the survey and for sharing their responses with the public.  

Visit artsforla.org/march2011surveys to read all candidates' responses.

If you notice that a specific candidate has not completed the survey and you are interested in his or her responses, we encourage you to contact the candidate and urge him or her to complete the survey. 

The Burbank Arts for All Foundation was Arts for LA's partner in the Burbank USD School Board survey. The mission of the Burbank Arts for All Foundation is to ensure every student in Burbank public schools receives a quality arts education as part of their core curriculum.
