Did you know that CBCA has been publishing this biennial Economic Activity Study since 1993? The latest study analyzes data from arts, cultural, and scientific nonprofits organizations in the seven-county metro area who receive funding from the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) in the 2022 calendar year. Key metrics include overall economic activity, cultural tourism, jobs, attendance, philanthropy and educational outreach. For the last 30 years, this study has been a key advocacy tool to demonstrate the relevance and impact of the arts & cultural sector on our region.
