The arts and culture industry is real, generating $961.6 million in economic activity annually—$511.4 million in spending by arts and cultural organizations and $450.2 million in event-related spending by their audiences supporting 25,248 jobs and generating $87.4 million in government revenue.
In Allegany County, the arts make a tremendous impact. For every dollar spent on arts and cultural activities, more than $4.00 additional is generated for local restaurants, theatres, retail stores, and beyond. Investing in the arts is making an investment in your business.
