Talk data to me
Making the case for arts and culture as an economic driver just got a little easier. A new report from National Endowment for the Arts and US Bureau of Economic Analysis credits the cultural sector with a $700 billion boost to the U.S. economy. This data plays an essential role in talking about arts impact: using numbers to quantify the important work of the arts and cultural community. To contextualize this data, we need to continue to share stories from the community that show the other side of arts impact: the people.
