The_Arts_&_Thier_Economic_Impact

The Arts Council for the Northern Adirondacks
Needs your help!

During the end of 2006 and 2007 ACNA is fostering survey of
 “The Arts and their Economic Impact” throughout the Adirondack Park.
The results of this will show our Legislators,
Tourism partners and potential supporters
that the Arts are a major industry here in the North Country and finally,
get the recognition that is long overdue and well deserved.
This study is being sponsored by Americans for the Arts and we will be compared
to other areas across the United States.
Working hand in hand with this study is Americans for the Arts
“Creative Industries Study”
 that gives us just one more piece of the puzzle.  

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

HOW TO Sign Up and Be Counted,
Our campaign to get individual artists and arts organizations to register or update their information with Dun & Bradstreet.  It is beneficial for individuals and organizations to do so because having a DUNS number is a pre-requisite to applying for many grants.  Furthermore, having a DUNS number will ensure that arts businesses are counted in Americans for the Arts annual “Creative Industries Study”.  Full details on the DUNS number and directions for contacting D&B to register are contained at Americans for the Arts website
