Bravo Greater Des Moines engaged Keen Independent to conduct a Creative Space Needs Assessment for Greater Des Moines. Keen Independent will synthesize qualitative and quantitative information gathered from Greater Des Moines arts and cultural organizations and present findings that help support future planning, coordination and collaborative facilitation efforts.

As part of this process, Keen Independent will:

  • Develop a comprehensive market analysis of Greater Des Moines;
  • Engage stakeholders through interviews, group discussions, a virtual workshop survey and other methods;
  • Develop an assessment of needs based on stakeholder feedback and market analysis findings;
  • Develop recommendations to address collaboration opportunities and considerations for potential future investment in the creative economy; and
  • Present draft findings to the greater arts and culture community for feedback before the report is final.
