Arts Industry Returns $8.0 Million in Revenues to Local and State Coffers. WASHINGTON, DC - The nonprofit arts and culture industry generates $85.4 million in annual economic activity In Orange County, NC - supporting 3,352 full -time equivalent jobs and generating $8.0 million In local and state government revenues, according to the Arts & Economic Prosperity /V national economic impact study. The most comprehensive economic impact study of the nonprofit arts and culture industry ever conducted in the United States, Arts & Economic Prosperity /V was conducted by Americans for the Arts (AFTA), the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts and arts education. According to the study, nonprofit arts and culture organizations in Orange County, NC spent $63.9 million during fiscal year 2010. This spending is far - reaching: organizations pay employees, purchase supplies, contract for services and acquire assets within their community. Those dollars, in turn, generated $55.6 million in household income for local residents and $5.4 million in local and state government revenues. "We're thrilled to have the proof that the arts repay the investment - they create jobs and stimulate the economy, attract visitors and new residents, and improve the quality of life for the community. On every level - local, state, and national - the arts mean business!" said Martha Shannon, AMERICANS Director of the Orange County Arts Commission, AFTA's local partner ARTS for this study. Nationally, the Arts & Economic Prosperity /V study reveals that the nonprofit arts industry produced $135.2 billion In economic activity during 2010. This spending - $61.1 billion by file://S:\Arts Commission\New OCAC Web Template\ 6889\ without_flash\html \e - newslett... 6/18/2012 Orange County Arts Commission E- Newsletter Page 2 of 4 nonprofit arts and culture organizations plus an additional $74.1 billion by their audiences - supported 4.1 million full -time equivalent jobs and generated $22.3 billion in federal, state and local tax revenues. "This study shines a much - needed light on the vital role the arts play in stimulating and sustaining economic development," says Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts. "Contrary to popular belief, the arts are a bustling industry that supports a plethora of diverse jobs, generates significant revenues for local businesses and to federal, state and local governments and provides quality of life that positions communities to compete in our 21 st century creative economy." Arts Industry Boon for Local Businesses In addition to spending by organizations, the nonprofit arts and culture industry leverages $21.5 million in event - related spending by its audiences. As a result of attending a cultural event, attendees often eat dinner in local restaurants, pay for parking, buy gifts and souvenirs, and pay a babysitter. What's more, attendees from out of town often stay overnight in a local hotel. In Orange County, NC, these dollars support 643 full -time equivalent jobs and generate $2.5 million in local and state government revenues. The Arts & Economic Prosperity W study was conducted by Americans for the Arts and supported by The Ruth Lilly Fund of Americans for the Arts. Americans for the Arts' local, regional, and statewide project partners contributed both time and financial support to the study.
