New Resource Arts and Economic Prosperity III
The nation's nonprofit arts and culture industry has expanded at a rate greater than inflation since Americans for the Arts' first analysis of the sector in 1992. The industry expanded 24 percent between 2000 and 2005, with arts organizations spending $63.1 billion and their audiences spending an additional $103.1 billion in event-related activities for $166.2 billion in total economic activity.
