The Arts as a Path to Opportunity

"Arts are a path to opportunity. Businesses benefit from the creativity, perseverance and problem-solving skills that Americans develop through the arts. The arts drive private-sector investment and job creation. Every dollar of N.E.A. (National Endowment for the Arts) funding generates $9 of non-federal money to the arts, and the nonprofit arts industry generates 4.1 million jobs"
