Americans for the Arts Study:
Economic Impact of America's Non-profit Arts Sector Exceeds $135 Billion & Employs Over 4 million |
According to its newly-released fourth nationwide Arts & Economic Prosperity Study, Americans for the Arts reports that the non-profit arts industry generated $135.2 billion of economic activity-$61.1 billion by the nation's nonprofit arts and culture organizations in addition to $74.1 billion in event-related expenditures by their audiences. This economic activity supports 4.13 million full-time jobs and generates $86.68 billion in resident household income. Our industry also generates $22.3 billion in revenue to local, state, and federal governments every year-a yield well beyond their collective $4 billion in arts allocations. Despite the economic headwinds that our country faced in 2010, the results are impressive.
One Orange County community was among the 182 communities that participated in this year's study: the City of Laguna Beach. Study results for Laguna Beach show that the arts generates $49.1 million in total economic activity. This spending-$27.7 million by nonprofit arts and culture organizations and an additional $21.4 million in event-related spending by their audiences-supports 1,351 full-time equivalent jobs, generates $32.1 million in household income to local residents, and delivers $4.6 million in local and state government revenue. |

Call for Projects |
Studio SCR is a series that presents a wide mix of ambitious, provocative, and experimental theatrical work of Southern California's most innovative companies in South Coast Repertory's 94-seat Nicholas Studio. Its goals are to engage new artists, to introduce SCR audiences to their work and their audiences to SCR's, and to offer alternative programming from our other two stages. Above all, it aims to contribute to the vibrancy of the local theatre community.
SCR is looking for projects from companies with a track record of production excellence and innovative approaches to live performance. There are no restrictions on budget size of the company or the length of its existence. SCR encourages experimental theatrical works in all forms. Previously, Studio SCR has featured such artists as Theatre Movement Bazarr, Transit Authority, Monkey Wrench Collective, Four Clowns, Rogue Artists Ensemble, Poor Dog Group, Sekou Andrews and Steve Connell.
Studio SCR is accepting proposals for full length projects for one week residencies and also short form projects (about 10 minutes in length) for one of the late night SCRamble events.
