Arts and culture are an important economic engine and a quality of life for Long Island. Based on a study for 2022, the local non-profit arts and culture industry of Nassau and Suffolk Counties generated $330 million in economic activity, which supported 4,905 jobs and generated $81.2 million in tax revenues.

To learn about this and more, please join Randy Cohen, Vice President of Research with Americans for the Arts, when he makes three public presentations on December 18-19 as part of the "AEP6 on the Road to Prosperity Tour."

Mr. Cohen will discuss the Arts & Economic Prosperity 6 Study (AEP6), held every five years, which highlights the economic and social impacts of local arts and culture, and take a deep dive into our local findings. This is the first time the study included Long Island.

Admission is free. Registration is required.

These events are intended for audiences including, but not limited to: arts and culture coordinators, tourism providers and coordinators, economic development managers, foundation and funding managers, business managers centered on hospitalities, individual creatives, elected officials and municipal decision-makers.
