“We’ve always known the arts add to our quality of life, but these findings tell the story about how a vibrant arts community stimulates the local economy,” said Walton Arts Center president Peter Lane. The study, conducted by Americans for the Arts, and paid for by the Walton Arts Center, the NWA Council and the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce, found that Northwest Arkansas’ non-profit arts and culture organizations support 1,488 local full-time equivalent jobs, generate $4 million in government revenue, and are a primary driver of tourism to Northwest Arkansas.
According to a new study released on Wednesday, the arts and culture industry has a $46 million annual economic impact on the Northwest Arkansas region.
