The Tennessee Arts Commission is pleased to announce the Arts and Economic Impact Prosperity 6 Study (AEP6) to support participation in the study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry.
The Tennessee Arts Commission is partnering with Americans for the Arts as they conduct a study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry, Arts and Economic Impact Prosperity 6 Study (AEP6). Funds are available through this program to offset 100% of the discounted study participation fee for grantee partners.
This national study will measure the economic impact of nonprofit arts and culture organizations and their audiences in 2022. As communities across the state recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tennessee Arts Commission has signed on to be a statewide study partner to demonstrate the vital importance of the nonprofit arts and culture sector for reinvigorating community life and local economies.
Local partners will play a key role in collecting data locally that will serve as a critical advocacy and branding tool for the State of Tennessee’s arts industry.
