Economic Impact of the Arts

Every year, the Arts Action Fund creates detailed data and narrative driven state factsheets that help tell the story of “Why the Arts Matter” in each state. We work with our state and district arts captains as well as state arts agency leaders to make sure every state has the most updated economic, funding, and organizational information to promote the impact of the arts throughout our country’s diverse communities.
