Arts & Economic Prosperity III - PA
The Arts & Economic Prosperity III - PA study provides compelling new evidence that nonprofit arts and culture are a $1.99 billion industry in the Commonwealth - one that supports 61,985 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $282.98 million in local and state government revenue.
Pennsylvania's nonprofit arts and culture organizations, which themselves spend $1.03 billion each year, leverage a remarkable $960.99 million in additional spending by arts and culture audiences - spending that pumps vital revenue into local restaurants, hotels, retail stores, parking garages, and other businesses.
By demonstrating that investing in the arts yields economic benefits, Arts & Economic Prosperity III - PA lays to rest the common misconception that communities support the arts at the expense of local economic development. In fact, communities that support the arts not only enhance their quality of life, they also invest in their economic well-being. The arts mean business in Pennsylvania!
