Arts & Economic Prosperity National Report
The Economic Impact of Nonprofit Arts Organizations and Their Audiences
This important new study, released in June 2002, demonstrates conclusively that the nonprofit arts industry has a significant economic impact on local and national economies. And, for the first time, in addition to spending by arts organizations, information has been gathered on event-related spending by arts audiences. Americans for the Arts worked with 91 community partners from across the U.S. to collect expenditure data for this study.
The full report includes a summary of national findings, frequently asked questions section, definition of terms, methodology, and detailed tables describing the findings from each of our 91 community partners.
