The conversation focused on the major economic and social indicators in the 2016 Economic Activity Study, which was released on October 5. We discussed the economic activity generated by arts & culture, as well as the infusion of new money from cultural tourists. We delved deeper in the increases in job growth, philanthropy and volunteer hours.  And we touched on the metro area’s consistently high rates of attendances and outreach to children through arts, cultural and scientific organizations.
