Arts & Economic Prosperity IV

Overview

Art Pulse has joined Americans for the Arts as the Study Partner representing San Diego County for Arts & Economic Prosperity IV, a research study being conducted by Americans for the Arts, America’s leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts. The study will evaluate the impact that spending by arts organizations and their audiences have on their local economies, with a special focus on the nonprofit sector.

As one of 200 study partners across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Art Pulse will facilitate the gathering of detailed economic and event attendance data from study partner nonprofit arts and culture organizations located throughout San Diego County. In addition, Art Pulse will collaborate with the community’s other arts organizations to collect surveys from at least 800 arts and culture attendees in San Diego County during 2011.

The study’s results will include:

  • The total spent by San Diego County nonprofit arts and culture organizations and select commercial venues.
  • The total spent by audiences as a result of their attendance at arts and culture events in San Diego County.
  • The number of full-time equivalent jobs supported by arts spending.
  • The amount of local and state government tax revenues generated by arts spending.
  • The amount of resident, household income generated by arts spending.
