Arts & Economic Prosperity III
Arts & Economic Prosperity III, published in 2007 and conducted by Americans for the Arts, provides compelling new evidence that the nonprofit arts and culture are a significant industry in Charlotte-Mecklenburg—one that generates $157.96 million in local economic activity. This spending–$61.94 million by nonprofit arts and culture organizations and an additional $96.02 million in event-related spending by their audiences—supports 4,771 full-time equivalent jobs, generates $92.95 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $14.06 million in local and state government revenue. This economic impact study sends a strong signal that when we support the arts, we not only enhance our quality of life, but we also invest in Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s economic well-being.
