You're here because you value the transformational power of art, and we want to capture that experience in a survey.
We've partnered with award-winning researcher, Johnathan Cromwell, at The University of San Francisco to conduct a research study about the intersection of creativity and emotions.
With your help, we will have a better understanding of creativity and the data to advocate for its practice—bringing healing to more people everywhere.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does the survey take?
The survey should take about 20 minutes. If you have your image files ready, that will help speed up the process.
How should I submit my image files?
Images files should be submitted as .jpg or .png files no larger than 750 px wide. You will submit three image files: one that shows the work of art as a whole piece, one that zooms into the work to show detail/texture to see the materials used more clearly, and one to show scale of the work. See an example below. (Image to scale was created for free on canvy.com.)

How will my data be used?
At no point will your data be used to connect your responses in the survey to the personal information you provide later.
How will my work be judged?
The work will be judged first by using a rating system. After that, finalists will be identified and judges will choose a winner via Zoom call to collaborate and choose a winner.
