The City of Frederick Department of Economic Development, The Downtown Frederick Partnership and the Frederick Arts Council have partnered to prepare a report on the economic impact the arts has in Frederick City. This study involved surveys from 28 local arts nonprofits, including MET, and surveys from almost 800 Frederick arts patrons.
The report, presented today in a joint press conference, shows the economic impact arts organizations have on our community - how much arts organizations spend in our community, the number of jobs created, the revenue generated from arts patron spending in nearby restaurants and shops, etc. You can read the whole report here, or for a quick summary, go here.
We all know that the arts contribute significantly to the quality of life we enjoy here in Frederick, but it's also great to see the hard numbers of how we as artists are helping to grow our community.
