The ArtsPay Survey needs YOU! Please complete the Organizational Survey by Friday, August 11, 2023.

The more organizations that participate in the survey, the more accurate picture of our sector we can share with the field, decision-makers, and the funding community. Data collected will be viewed ONLY by the third-party research firm, Baker Richards, which will anonymize and analyze the information. The results of the survey will be made publicly available at no cost. This data will be essential in helping our sector identify and address pay inequities and will provide information to assist arts workers with employment negotiations.

Who should fill out the Arts Pay NJ Organizational Survey?

This survey should be filled out by one representative at any non-profit organization in New Jersey for which the arts are the primary mission. The individual at your organization completing the survey should have knowledge and access to the organization’s HR/payroll information.

How do I get started?

We suggest the first step is to gather your HR/payroll information and download the excel spreadsheet where you will enter your payroll information. Once completed, you will upload that spreadsheet to the survey where indicated. You may also download a copy of the full survey so you are able to see all the survey questions at a glance in preparation for completing the survey.

Help Spread the Word!

By participating in this survey, you are a part of supporting pay equity in our field. Please share this survey with other nonprofit arts organizations in your network.

The New Jersey State Council on the Arts, created in 1966, is a division of the NJ Department of State and a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Council was established to encourage and foster public interest in the arts; enlarge public and private resources devoted to the arts; promote freedom of expression in the arts; and facilitate the inclusion of art in every public building in New Jersey. The Council believes the arts are central to every element we value most in a modern society including: human understanding; cultural and civic pride; strong communities; excellent schools; lifelong learning; creative expression; and economic opportunity.
