contributors to Florida’s economy—to the tuneof $4.68 billion. The not-for-profit arts and
cultural industry also supports 132,366 jobs and returns nearly $500 million in revenue to local
and state government.This sendsa clear message that an investment in arts and culture is an
investment in a strong Florida economy.

administered by the Division of Cultural Affairs created a return on investment forstate and
local governments of9:1. Additionally, more than 41million people, including 7.5million
children, participated in programs supported by these grants. People across Florida’s67

“The arts and culture industry helps to showcase the vast diversity
and uniqueness of our state, drives tourism, creates jobs and
contributes to the high quality of life enjoyed by Floridians and sought
after by visitors. I am pleased to see arts and culture in Florida is
thriving and I look forward to the industry’s continued growth in years
to come.”
— Florida Governor Rick Scott
The Arts Mean Business
By Robert L. Lynch, President and CEO, Americans for the Arts
In my travels, I meet business and government leaders who speak passionately about the value
the arts bring to their communities—fueling creativity, beautifying downtowns, and providing joy.
Many also share with me the challenge of balancing arts funding with the demands to support
jobs and grow their economy. To these community leaders, Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 offers
a clear and welcome message: the arts are an investment that delivers both community well-
being and economic vitality.
