MetroWest Tourism & Visitors BureauEconomic Impact Analysis
April, 2013
What is the Creative Economy?
The economic activity, such as jobs, financial transactions, and wealth creation, generated by businesses and non-profit organizations of a
creative or cultural nature
What Contributes to Economic Impact?
• Operating Budget• Attendance by Out-of-Region Visitors
• Employees• Investments
• These dollars initially spent by a creative organization spread out into the community, creating a “ripple effect” that adds up to the Total Economic Impact.
We used 2 validated models to calculate economic impact, and averaged the results to improve our study’s reliability• AFTA – (Americans for the Arts) Arts and
Economic Prosperity Initiative - nationally focused
• C3D – (Center for Creative Community
Development ) and New England Foundation for the Arts’ Culture Count Initiative (regionally focused)
The overall economic impact of the 21 MetroWest cultural organizations in this study is nearly $375
Million and 4000 jobs over 5 years.
Cumulative Impact: 2012-2016
Economic Impact: $374,918,000 over five years
Employment Impact: 3967 full-time equivalent employees over five years

• Jobs in creative organizations tend to stay in the local economy
