The results of a new study by the Alliance for the Arts show the arts industry in New York City and State is a vital and integral part of the economy with an economic impact of $21.2 billion and generating more than 160,000 jobs. The results, from which the complete study can be found online at this link, illustrate the significant growth in the industry that the Alliance for the Arts has been able to quantify. The study, supported by the New York City Economic Development Corporation and New York State Development Corporation, estimates the economic contribution of the arts industry in New York City has grown 86% since the study was first done in 1983 and 61% since the last study in 1993. In addition to the benefits of spending by all the components of the industries, arts, as an industry, generated $904 million in local taxes to the city.
