Just a couple of thoughts on the Creative Industries reports...

  • There are 578,000 arts-related businesses in the United States—one in 24 U.S. businesses is an arts-centric business. It’s a formidable industry.
  • The Creative Industries maps demonstrate the broad distribution of these businesses throughout your area. What makes this research especially potent is the data can be localized to any city, county, region, or political jurisdiction (Congress, state House/Senate districts, even local wards in the larger cities and counties).
  • Nationally, three million people are employed by arts-centric businesses. There is a critical need for strong arts education policies to provide a workforce and to grow audiences for these industries.
  • Creative Industries are the high-octane fuel of the information economy—the fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy.
  • The reliable and accurate data are from Dun & Bradstreet, the leading business provider of global business information.
