This survey should only take a few minutes of your time, and will help us paint a picture of the creative community in San Leandro. We also have an optional email announce list you can join, where we will share art opportunities and art-focused information moving forward. Thank you for your time, and please forward this to any creative people you know who live in San Leandro.
