INTRODUCTION TO ARTS & ECONOMIC PROSPERITY 6 The purpose of this research study is to measure the economic impact of spending by the nation's nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and the event -related spending by their audiences during fiscal year 2022. This new study will build on our five previous national economic impact efforts (about fiscal years 1992, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015) to document in unprecedented scope and detail the key role played by the nonprofit arts industry in strengthening local and statewide economies. Our highly regarded research methodology has repeatedly proven to be credible and trustworthy. Legislators, business leaders, government officials, arts administrators, and the media regularly use our data to demonstrate the economic power that the arts and culture wield in their communities. During the past 25 years we have conducted more than 500 economic impact studies on communities across all 50 states and the District of Columbia --communities ranging in geography (Alaska to Florida to Maine to Hawaii), population (1,400 to 4 million), and population density (rural to large urban). We fully anticipate that the AEP6 study will once again be the largest and most comprehensive research effort of its kind ever conducted.
