“According to our last Arts and Economic Prosperity Economic Impact Study, the San José nonprofit arts sector alone contributes over $191 million in annual economic impact and 4,255 jobs. And we know that the arts are critical to our cross-cultural understanding and connection to each other – which is more critical now than ever as we reopen from the pandemic.
“The arts are core to our economic and community recovery plan. We spur the arts industry through strategic cultural arts funding, public art, special event production and facilitation, and through investing in our ‘creative entrepreneurs’ – the individuals, nonprofits and businesses that create, support and perform art throughout the city, contributing to our great public life.”
