Arts & Cultural Organizations produce $279 million in economic impact for KC metro region. - study in 2004 – new Study for 2010 – expect roughly 300 MThe direct economic benefits are source of employment, those who work in arts industries (both artists and related arts workers), tax revenues, and spending for local communities. industries that directly supply arts organizations with goods and services, and in industries that benefit from providing services (e.g., food, lodging, parking) to arts consumers. For tax revenues this includes governments who collect income, sales, and property taxes on incomes, purchases, and real property of arts and related industries and their employees and consumers and the increases in overall economic activity (spending and employment) that the arts industry adds to a local market through a multiplier effect Indirect economic benefits are those that result when the arts attract individuals and firms to locations where the arts are available. These benefits hinge on the attraction the arts offer to particular classes of workers (skilled) and firms (high value-added), an attraction that strengthens the local economy and promotes economic development (Florida, 2002).Young people are choosing where to live – then looking for a job

Two – there is a benefit in people coming together and having shared experiences – connecting shared ideas and learning from each other – sharing multiple perspectives.

This magnetization of neighborhoods through the arts (as well as other activities) is associated with higher levels of neighborhood stability and/or improvement (Taylor, September 2008). In his work, City: Rediscovering the Center, sociologist William H. Whyte summarized the results of several years of videotaping plazas, intersections, and other public spaces in recommendations to planning and zoning commissions on the design of urban areas to maximize their public use and enjoyment (1988). One of Whyte’s principal recommendations was to encourage street performers and other kinds of amateur arts presentation because arts are fun and they create a place where people want to be.
