A new study of the economic impact of the arts in New England has been released. “The ‘creative industry’ makes up 3.5 percent of New England’s total job base – more than our software or medical technology industries. It is growing at a remarkable rate of 14 percent each year – nearly twice as fast as the average rate of job growth in New England.”- Boston Globe
- MANY BENEFITS: “An investment in the arts and culture generates remarkable returns in the form of successful enterprises, a superior work force, high quality of life and New England’s competitiveness.” – Boston Herald
