What is the study?
Assembly is excited to partner with Americans for the Arts on Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 (AEP6).
AEP6 is an economic impact study of the nation’s nonprofit arts and culture industry. It’s the largest and most inclusive study of its kind ever conducted, with a specific focus on 387 participating communities from across the country.
For the first time ever, this study includes Cuyahoga County as part of the more than two hundred regions surveyed nationwide. View the Press Release.
Nonprofit Partners
Assembly is working with nonprofit organization partners to survey their audiences at arts and culture events of all kinds across the county. These surveys will provide important information on how much people are spending at arts events, what neighborhoods are participating and their investment in and connection to the arts.
Why is This a big deal for Cuyahoga County?
In short, Economic impact studies like AEP6:
- Can help organizations like Assembly advocate for more resources for arts and culture, including future funding
- Illustrate the major economic impact of the arts in our region
- Influence where tax dollars are invested
- Help change how people view arts and culture
