Abstract

I wanted to use my honors project as a way to apply the knowledge I have gained through my classes to assess the impact the arts have on the economy and the community as a whole in the Greater Toledo Area. I did this through researching, evaluating and assessing arts organization on a local, state and national level. I looked into the programs and services that those organizations offer to artists and arts related organizations. I also looked into research that was done on the affect the arts and creative industry as a whole has on the economy. My interest in this subject was fostered by the internship that I had this past summer with the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. I believe that creating an environment where artists can thrive in the Greater Toledo Area is vital to the enhancement and revitalization of Toledo’s economy.
