FOR NEW JERSEY’S
PRIVATE SECTOR
ECONOMY?

10. Arts Org Spending (in $ millions)
State Funds (in $millions)
$215 $225
In FY12, state
support for the
$150
arts leveraged
nearly a quarter of
a billion dollars of
direct spending in $75
New Jersey’s
private sector $16

economy.

11. And that’s just the organizations themselves...
Lodging A national
study released
in June found
that the typical
Souvenirs
Meals arts attendee
spends $25 per
Transp person/per
event beyond
Child Care
the price of a
Other single ticket.
New Jersey had approx 10 million arts patrons in FY12.

12. Direct Spending by Arts Orgs & Patrons (in $ millions)
State Funds (in $millions)

non-profit arts
organizations
represented nearly

14. For every three and a half
cents that New Jersey
transfers from tourist

the grantee organizations
& their patrons spend a
dollar in New Jersey’s
private economy.

21. And if you add
“for-profit” companies
(film, television,
advertising, design,
publishing, etc.)--the
arts industry in New
Jersey is huge.

there were
25,097 arts-related

concentrate on
the half billion
dollar tower of
spending by NJ’s
non-profit arts
sector, which is
built upon the
solid foundation
of Arts Council
funding...
...and look
inside that
foundation
to see how
those funds
are allocated.
