As the leading arts and culture service organization for coastal Fairfield County, we drive data collection and distribution of the Arts & Economic Prosperity (AEP) studies for our region. The latest AEP6 study, conducted by Americans for the Arts, uses a rigorous methodology to demonstrate that arts and culture are a critical economic driver for vibrant communities and essential for our region’s prosperity and quality of life.
Building on a 30-year legacy, this study goes beyond financial metrics to reveal the broader benefits of a thriving arts and culture ecosystem, including:
Social Impact: Fostering community cohesion and engagement.
Mental Health & Well-being: Providing opportunities for creative expression and personal enrichment.
Equity & Inclusion: Ensuring that arts and culture are accessible to all, reflecting the diverse fabric of our communities.
