Arts & Economic Prosperity in Nevada County

Nevada County Arts Council announces new findings in its 2022-23 Nevada County Arts & Economic Prosperity Study (AEP6). Here you can learn about how our creative economy plays such a critical role in our overall economy. 

This report implied a comprehensive survey of 127 entities engaged in cultural programming across the whole of Nevada County over a year-long process, together with their audiences.

Our study is part of AEP6’s larger study, which takes a longitudinal look at how the creative economy drives key business, tourism and workforce factors at a local, statewide, and national level. 

The groundbreaking AEP6 study—which marks the most extensive data collection effort in the 30-year history of the study nationally—has broken new ground by prioritizing equity, social impact, community engagement, and inclusivity.
