Americans for the Arts Vice President of Research and Policy Randy Cohen was in Western New York to unveil the economic impact of the nonprofit arts & culture sector and its audience in Erie, Niagara, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties.

Every day, more than 100,000 nonprofit arts and culture organizations act as economic drivers in the United States – creating an industry that supports jobs, generates government revenue, and is the cornerstone of our tourism industry. This study documents the key role played by the nonprofit arts and culture industry, and their audiences, in strengthening the economy of our nation and on a local level.
