The Lawrence Music Census

Unmistakable Vibes, Live Music Thrives

About

The Lawrence Music Census is a community-led initiative to gain a better understanding of the current music needs of the Lawrence, Kansas, community. This marks the first time that the music community will have new data from which to develop policy solutions and approaches.

This Census will capture key information about the Lawrence music economy to help the city and community to make more informed, data-driven decisions to support the music ecosystem. The Census is administered by Sound Music Cities, a leading provider of music ecosystem studies and music census work, in conjunction with the Lawrence Music Alliance, the City of Lawrence, eXplore Lawrence, and several local partners.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO REACH A VILLAGE!

Become a Community Engagement Partner and help us conduct the most extensive survey of the Greater Lawrence music ecosystem ever completed.

WHAT WE’RE ASKING:

We will begin our survey in March 2024, and we’re asking you to send the survey to your contacts in the music and live entertainment ecosystem, encouraging individuals to take the survey. We also will ask you to periodically make social media posts to announce the launch of the survey, and encourage participation.

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

Most importantly, representation in the survey results – we want to be as inclusive as possible, which means we want the folks you work with and serve to have their voices heard. We will give community engagement partners a sneak peek of the survey data results before finalizing and publishing our dashboard report. And we would love to add your logo to our list of engaged partners!
