WHY DOES CULTURE COUNT?
Cultural enterprises and cultural workers play an important role in New England’s
economy, contributing significantly to local and regional economies and fueling other sectors of the economy in unique ways. In order to measure this contribution, and understand the impact of the creative economy,
we must identify the set of organizations and individuals that can accurately be considered part of this economic sector in the United States.
